God Is Faithful
Dr RJ Sing
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. 14 I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.”
When someone promises you something and fails to keep that promise, it leaves you feeling discontent. Unfortunately, there are few people in this world who are completely trustworthy. I am sure that you have made promises to people that you have not kept. But, we can depend on God’s promises. We can always count on His Word. There are hundreds of promises chronicled in the Bible. And each one of them is completely true. Twice Joshua reminds the people of Israel that the Lord has kept every one of the promises He made to them. Every promise has been fulfilled (see Joshua 21:45, 23:14)
You can trust in God’s promises to you. He will keep each one of them even if it seems impossible to you right now. Sometimes God requires you to wait for the fulfillment of these promises. If this happens you may remind God of His promises: “I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, Isa 62:7 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.” (Isaiah 62:6-7) Be patient. God will fulfill each of the promises in His Word, in His own time.
