Standing on the Promises

Verse of the Month

“God is not a man; He will not lie.

God is not a human being; 

His decisions will not change.

If He says He will do something, 

then He will do it.

If He makes a promise, 

then He will do what He promised.

(Numbers 23:19 ERV)

Standing on the Promises

When I was a child people made a lot of promises to me after the passing of my parents.  However, none of them kept their word or followed through with their promise.  They lied, changed their mind or came up with a million excuses as to why they couldn’t fulfill the words they spoke to me. 

Maybe I was gullible when I was young, but why would they lie to me?  I learned an emotionally hard lesson - men and women, no matter how good and kind they are, don’t always keep their word.

Over the years I’ve learned not to judge those people, because at times I too have fallen short where promises are concerned.  Sadly, broken promises from mankind is something we all experience in life.

Praise God for His Holy Word teaching us not to rely on man, but to put our trust and faith in the Lord.  Through the scriptures we have learned to have hope in Someone who has always kept His promises from generation to generation. 

“Praise the Lord who has given His people peace,

as He promised He would. He has kept all the generous promises

He made through His servant Moses.” 1 Kings 8:56

When we stand on the promises of God, we will never be disappointed or have to worry about Him keeping His Word.  The Lord is dependable, trustworthy, truthful, faithful and loyal to His children.  

He will not go back on His promises.  You can forgive others by faith,  Put your trust in the precious promises of God and let Him restore your peace . (jw/cw)

“All His promises are exceedingly great and precious to

those who keep His word.” (2 Peter 1:4 NKVJ)
