We’ve heard a lot of promises made by a lot of people lately. How many of those promises are going to be kept? Don’t hold your breath. How much of the sadness and the anger and the disappointment in your life is a result of broken promises? Making—and breaking—promises is what we sinful people do.
But there is one person who is different. There is a Promise-Keeper who always keeps his promises. Do you know who it is? God! “Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made” (Psalm 145:13). Our God is faithful to every single one of his promises. “I created you.” Yes! “I have forgiven all your sins.” Yes! “I have summoned you by name.” Yes! “I am with you always.” Yes! “I know the plans I have for you.” Yes! The Lord is faithful to all his promises. What a comfort! As promises keep getting made—and broken—all around us, put your trust and hope in the Promise-Keeper.
