ENDLESS LOVE

“For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through him the ‘Amen’ is spoken by us to the glory of God” (2 Corinthians 1:20)

 

God revealed in the Bible is a promise maker and a promise keeper. The emphasis on each page of scripture is that when God says He will do something, He always follows through, and keeps his word. “Summer Promises” devotional is meant to help us start to discover or for some of us, to rediscover the many promises God makes to each one.

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU


Isaiah 54:10


'Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,'
says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

 

No matter how hard we try, it seems that at some point we let other people down. Whether it is forgetting a birthday or anniversary, saying the wrong thing, or misreading a social cue. Even when our intention is to love others deeply, we still miss the mark at times. Over and over again the Bible reminds of the comforting truth that God’s love never fails.

God doesn’t change His mind or break a promise in His covenants. No matter how messy things get in our life, or how troubled our hearts become, God does not desert us, God never walk out on us. God promises to love us compassionately, and tenderly even when our lives are disordered, confused and a bit chaotic. Now That's a Good News promise!!


REFLECT

  • When God says His love is unshakable, how does that make you feel?
  • Does it affect how you interact with your Creator?
  • Invite God to bring his unfailing love and covenant of peace into the areas of your life that you struggle most with.

FUN with GOD

  June 13, 2024 PSALM 30:11-12 “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; you have loosed my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!” I have learned that God loves to exceed our expectations and break open our boxes. For example today let us think about our Father in Heaven as a God who is "Fun". I was talking with a friend recently and we were talking about the varied perceptions of God that many people have. Sadly, the notion of God most common is that God is not loving toward all he has made, but a God waiting to exact some form of retribution for our actions that he might deem "sin". You know "God is out to get you" kind of thinking. My friend and I felt that this is a terrible misconception and distortion of the Bible's picture of God. I am convinced that the Bible contains evidence that God desires to reveal to us the immense joy of havi

  JULY 3, 2024 Psalm 8  Lord , our Lord,      how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory      in the heavens. 2  Through the praise of children and infants      you have established a stronghold against your enemies,      to silence the foe and the avenger. 3  When I consider your heavens,      the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars,      which you have set in place, 4  what is mankind that you are mindful of them,      human beings that you care for them? 5  You have made them a little lower than the angels      and crowned them with glory and honor. 6  You made them rulers over the works of your hands;      you put everything under their feet: 7  all flocks and herds,      and the animals of the wild, 8  the birds in the sky,      and the fish in the sea,      all that swim the paths of the seas. 9  Lord , our Lord,      how majestic is your name in all the earth! In this Psalm, David expresses wonder at how God displays His power through the most

METEORIC LOVE

  JULY 5, 2024 I'm amazed at the human capacity for love. I will use myself as the case study. I have been blessed to have a beautiful and wonderful woman to love as my wife. When our first daughter was born, I was amazed to find that my heart expanded to a different channel of love. Some of you I am guessing know what I am talking about. My soul opened in a new way. When I thought I had expended all my love, along came children 2, 3, and 4. I would always wonder if I had the capacity to love more than I already did, could my heart expand more? Guess what my capacity for love kept growing. And now as a grandfather of 4, that love expands and expands with each one. I have said to my daughter about my Grandkids, “just when you think you have topped out your love for them,” which is quite substantial, "you spend an afternoon with them and your love for them grows again." There seems to be some new reservoir of love that opens and is released. Have you experienced that in you
