“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.
