SEPTEMBER 5, 2 Corinthians 1:18-20

Have you ever broken a promise? You may have promised your parents that you will never do something again but soon return to doing it? Have you ever forgotten a promise that you have made? Or perhaps you have been unable to keep a promise?

The Bible tells us that God is true and trustworthy. God never forgets or breaks a promise. God had promised Abraham that he would have many descendants like the sand on the beach and stars in the sky. It did not seem possible as Abraham and his wife had waited for a long time but still Abraham’s wife, Sarai, could not conceive. One day, God told Abraham that He had not forgotten His promise, and in His time He would fulfill it. God repeated His promise to Abraham. He had Abraham walk through the land that would be occupied by his descendants. God said He would make Abraham’s offspring to be as populous as the dust of the earth. Abraham must be patient. Did Abraham have many offspring who would occupy the land filled with God’s enemies? Yes. God’s promises are always fulfilled!

One of God’s greatest promises is found in the book of Acts.

We should be punished for our sins but Jesus sacrificed Himself by dying in our place. Jesus washed away our sins when He died on the cross. Whoever you are and wherever you come from, cry out to God for forgiveness and mercy, and you will be saved. God never breaks a promise. If you call out to God in the name of Jesus, you will be saved – saved from sin and saved from eternal hell fire. After receiving Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, tell others about your best and true Friend.

Thought: What is God’s promise to anyone who will call out to Him in the name of Jesus?

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You that You are true and trustworthy. You are the God of promises and are faithful in keeping them. Help me know the Bible and the promises inside it and never to doubt You. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
