Promises of God

Promise of God

Numbers 23:19 - God is no man, that he should lie; or a son of man that he should change his mind. 
Has He said, and it would not be done?

This week I have to share about a promise of God with my church’s staff. I was praying that God would reveal to me what he wanted me to share. And He put this verse into one of my morning devotions. I feel that it really proclaims who God is. He is a God of truth and righteousness. He is no ‘man’. He can cannot be swayed by this world. He cannot be deceived because he is all knowing. He is a Holy Being who keeps his word and because He is holy, he cannot go back on his word. He promises to be faithful to us till the end, and he will never leave nor forsake us.  Did you know that there are 3573 promises in the Bible? And God will fulfill all of them if we just let him. A promise is a promise. That means to God, it is a covenant that can’t be broke. But, not all of them are sunshine and rainbows. There are a lot of terrifying ones that really make you look at your life. I absolutely do not want to be an enemy God. That’s why God says we need to work out of salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil 2:12)

This is beyond comforting to me. It’s a comfort because that means that God is actively protecting me, guiding me, loving me, showing me endless grace and mercy, providing for me, supporting me, revealing himself to me, giving me courage, strength, showing me compassion, he listens to me in my time of need and so much more. But the thing is, I don’t deserve any this. This verse challenges me to want to die-to-self every day and continue to look onto the cross. I want to be humble enough to be able to receive this.

Application


Reflect a few of the promises God gives me and examine my heart if I am allowing God to fulfill them in my life.

Blessed Deuteronomy 3:21 – “…Your eyes have seen all that the Lord your God has done…” I am so blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in Costa Rica for these past 6 months.   God has shown me so many things that I will never forget. He has revealed to me the truth about myself that I have an attitude of complaining, pridefulness and laziness, all which needed to be strip away. He has displayed to me his promises of faithfulness, provision, fulfillment, renewal, and boldness. He has also allowed me to look through his eyes and experience his love that he has for all his children. Honestly, I don’t ever think that I would have experience that kind of love anywhere else. I can’t even explain it, it’s like complete joy and fulfillment. I don’t know, it’s crazy. That is something that I am going to bring back home with me, I am passionate about kids and loving on them the way the Lord loves me. This season was amazing but, what I have to remember is, that just beca...

Faith Hebrews 11:6 – it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that He rewarder those who sincerely seek him.               Reading over Hebrews 11, and its main focus point is on the topic, “Faith.” When you just stop and think it’s clearly stated. You cannot please God without faith. Like, how can I please you, Father, if I don’t have faith in who you are as my maker? All these people in Hebrews are being led by faith. They literally are relying on God’s promise alone and having no idea what’s coming around the corner. They were obedient to the calling of Christ. It pleases God that we are faithful to His calling in our lives. I like think that our obedience is a sweet fragrance unto Him in the heavens. Pleasing the Lord is what I was put on this world to do. I was created to spread the love of Christ to whoever would receive it. This verse makes a go...

Perseverance 1 Luke 8:11-15 – This is the meaning of the parable; the seed is God’s word. The Seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away for their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved. The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face and temptation. The seeds that fall among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life and so they never grow into maturity. And the seeds that fell on the good soil represents honest, good hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest. This whole passage basically is the observations. It’s talking about 4 different kinds of people and what happens after they hear the word of God. The f...
