Fantastic Friday #832 - Promise

Promise

7 He is the Lord our God;
his judgments are in all the earth.

8 He remembers his covenant forever,
the promise he made, for a thousand generations,
9 the covenant he made with Abraham,
the oath he swore to Isaac. Psalm 105:7-9


How many promises have you made that you have not been able to fulfill? Maybe it was a promise to be somewhere on time, or maybe it was a promise to help someone. The reasons for not fulfilling the promises could have been within or outside of your control, yet still the promise was unfulfilled. I know that it is hard to promise to do things sometimes, but when I do promise to do something, I make every effort to fulfill that promise. It is thought provoking that David did not start reflecting on God's Promises until halfway through the Psalms. I think our lives are in similar circumstances, when we are in the middle of a storm, we don't see the promises, but focus on the place we are in when the storm is crashing down on all sides. Maybe if we spent more time focusing on God's Promises, we might be able to fulfill the promises that we make more often. God Promises to be faithful to us, we just need to listen to that Promise.


Have a great weekend.
