HE REMAINS FAITHFUL

GOD IS FAITHFUL TO HIS PROMISE

Where you ever promised something and the person who made the promise failed you?  

If your answer is yes, I know that you were probably very disappointed and may have been devastated especially if that promise was of great importance to you.  

Today, I would like to let you know that God is FAITHFUL to His promises, and it's not even contingent on whether you believe it or not. You may delay your timing or not allow it to be realized if you continue to doubt, but the fulfillment of what He has promised is a sure word and will come to pass because of His faithfulness.  2 Timothy 2:13.

When Sarah doubted what God said of her she laughed, and even helped God in the process because of her lack of patience, (and she could have avoided the challenges it presented), God still fulfilled His promise with the promised seed, Isaac.  

TODAY'S FOCUS:  MAKE GOOD YOUR PROMISE (Honor Your Word)

1 Kings 8:56 (KJV)

Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.

As you meditate on this scripture, note the statement, "there hath not failed one word of all His good promise."  Not one of all.  That meant that every promise He made with Moses He fulfilled.  That surely shows that God is honorable and a God to His word.

How about you?  Have you reneged on your promise that you made to God or with someone? 

In What way have you not kept your promise or word?  With the help of the following questions, (please feel free to add your own), let's do a soul search.  

1. Have you promised God that you will change something or change in an area of your life?
2. Did you promise Him that if He did this you will do that?
3. Did you promise that you would serve Him and follow Him?
4. Did you make a promise to someone that you have not or unwilling to fulfill?
5. Did you promise to participate in a church activity, support a ministry, show up to a function or volunteered for something and have not started or revoked your promise?
6. What about your promises to your children and family?
7. What about the promises you made to yourself (ie... exercising, eating healthy, getting an education or going back to school, pursuing a goal/business, getting rid of bad habits, influences etc....?
8. What have you promised to be faithful in....?

Are you doubting your ability or are you wavering? 

It is important to have faith.

Hebrews 10:23 (KJV)

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Remember, God is faithful, and while His faithfulness does not depend on our faith, we must have faith.  Today, you have been given a chance to make good on your promise for His mercies are new every morning. Reflect back on the questions and mirror where you have fallen short.   Be honest and have integrity.  A man of his word is considered honorable. Also remember don't run ahead of God, wait on His promise for He that promise will bring it to pass.   

GOD BLESS AND KEEP THE FAITH!
