After a
global financial crisis, the US government enacted stricter laws to protect
people from questionable banking practices. Banks had to change some of their
policies to comply. To notify me of such changes, my bank sent me a letter. But
when I got to the end I had more questions than answers. The use of phrases
like “we may” and “at our discretion” certainly didn’t sound like anything I
could depend on!
In
contrast, the Old Testament quotes God as saying “I will” numerous times. God
promises David: “I will set up your seed after you, who will come
from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall
build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of
his kingdom forever” (2 Sam. 7:12-13). No uncertainty in those words.
Recognizing God’s faithfulness to His promises, King Solomon says in his prayer
of dedication for the temple: “You have kept what You promised Your servant
David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with
Your hand” (2 Chron. 6:15). Centuries later, the apostle Paul said that all of
God’s promises are “yes” in Christ (2 Cor. 1:20).
In a world
of uncertainty, our trust is in a faithful God who will always keep His
promises.
Whatever
trouble may assail, Of this we can be sure: God’s promises can never fail, They
always will endure.
Faith knows that God always performs what He
promises. Amen!
Blessings
