Promises Kept

Last night I was glancing through a Bible Study to see if I wanted to lead it for a small group.  As I was skimming it, I noticed the author posed a question that seemed to leap off the page and demanded my attention.  So I stopped and took time to reflect on this question.  I am so glad I did for I found this to be a wonderful time of praise.   It was such a good time, that I felt I had to share this with you. 

Here is the question:  “What are some of your favorite promises from God’s Word? “

Let me share a few promises that I began to contemplate:

“I will never leave you or forsake you.” Hebrews 13:5

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 1:6

“If we are faithless, He remains faithful.” 2Timothy 2:13

“His love endures forever.”  Psalm 136

“For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!” “Romans 8:38-39

During this Christmas season, we celebrate the fulfillment of God’s promise of the Messiah; the birth of our Lord and Savior.  “For a child will be born for us, a son will be given to us, and the government will be on His shoulders.  He will be named Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.  The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end.  He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from now and forever more.” Isaiah 9:6-7

God’s Fulfillment:  "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16

God keeps His promises.  Spend time rejoicing in His promises, for He is faithful.  His love endures forever.  Can I hear an Amen!  

What about you?  What comes to mind when asked this question?  What are some of your favorite promises from God’s Word?   Today, please share with someone your favorite promises from God’s Word.
