We all want promises don’t we, at least promises we can count on?  I know I have let people down telling them I will do something, fully intending to do so, but then failing to do it.  I have been let down by others who have told me they were going to do something but they fail to do it.  We humans are fallible. 
     There is only One Whose word we can be certain of, Whose word is always true, Who keeps every promise, without exception. 

     “Blessed be the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised. Not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke by Moses his servant” 1 Kings 8:56.
Uphold me according to your promise, that I may live, and let me not be put to shame in my hope! Psalm 119:116.
     So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. Hebrews 6:17-18
     God’s promises are true.  We can trust Him to always keep His word.  We can be assured that what He says He will do.  We may not be able to see His work in keeping His promises but we can be assured that He will keep it. Our God is True.  
Rest today in THE Promise-keeper.
Blessings, Diane
