Promises Fulfilled


“His faithful promises are your armor and protection.” Psalm 91:4


How many people have promised you something, only to not fulfill that promise?

Friends...family…teachers. People you look up to and trust.

Whether the broken promise is due to circumstances out of their control, or a decision to not follow through, it never feels good to be on the receiving end of a broken promise. It’s not fun to be on the giving end of one either.

God has made promises to us. Eternal promises that nothing in this world can take away from us.
He also makes some promises to us during our life on earth. Not that life will be easy…it never is.

  •  Freedom from condemnation. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1
  •  Help for us. “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” Isaiah 41:13
  • Patience with us. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9

God promises all believers certain promises…and then there are the promises He whispers into your ear, that are just for your particular situation.

Take a few moments to sit in silence, listening for God. What is God promising you in your situation today?
