God’s Promise

Jesus challenges us to make sure our yes is yes and our no is no.

When we say yes we need to follow through. That is the core of character and the goal that God has in mind for us.

God is faithful to his word. Jesus wants us to be the same way.

God doesn’t enter into a contract with us, written by a crafty lawyer. A contract drawn up by a hard-nosed lawyer and with plenty of fine print only makes sure that you will never be able to collect. But if there is no contract in the first place, simply a promise—and God’s promise at that—you can’t break it.

This is why the fulfillment of God’s promise depends entirely on trusting God and his way, and then simply embracing him and what he does. God’s promise arrives as pure gift. That’s the only way everyone can be sure to get in on it, those who keep the religious traditions and those who have never heard of them.

I would rather be accused of breaking precedents than breaking promises. ~John F. Kennedy

“I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won’t sin myself bankrupt.” ~King David

Can I go morally bankrupt? It is possible.Without God’s word and promises stored up in a sufficient manner, we can make too many withdrawals.

King David knew the secret to preventing moral bankruptcy.

David treated his heart like a bank. He stored up God’s promises in the vault of his heart. It protected his heart from going bankrupt from his sin.

Jesus, the Messiah, challenges us to focus on our heart. That is the key to what we think, say and do.

“I’ve banked your promises in the vault of my heart so I won’t sin myself bankrupt.” ~~King David (Psalm 119:11 The Message) 

“Love isn’t always ‘me first'” ~~Apostle Paul

1 Corinthians 13, Apostle Paul Sayings, Love, Promises, Selfish

God is love. He isn’t selfish. Plainly put, neither should I be.

God’s goal for me is for me to think of others first. To love them like I love myself.

May I love the way our Father does. May I always put others first.

Love isn’t always ‘me first’. 1 Corinthians 13

God's Promise

God’s Promise

Not one single promise has failed.

How powerful those words are to us. His word is filled to the brim with promises and not one has failed. How silly and shallow I am to even attempt to walk in doubt and fear.

I have a promise of hope and a future, a promise of life and life more abundant. The ups and the downs they are part of the promise. He promises He will hold my hand, he will direct my path, he will give wisdom without resentment….not one single promise has failed.

Keeping His promises shows us that God is in a good mood. He is good to us all the time. We can count on it.

 As you can see, I’m about to go the way we all end up going. Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things God, your God, promised you. It has all happened. Nothing’s left undone—not so much as a word. Joshua 23:14
