Today's Scripture<br />
"God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does<br />
not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he<br />
ever promised and not carried it through?"<br />
(Numbers 23:19)<br />
HE IS A PROMISE KEEPER<br />
Peter in the bible made a promise to the Lord that he couldn't keep. How<br />
often have I done the same thing? I personally have done it enough to<br />
know that I am the promise breaker in my relationship with GOD but<br />
HE THE PROMISE KEEPER!<br />
Almost every verse in Psalm 37 contains a promise. There are a lot of<br />
promises in the Bible. But do you know what is more amazing than the<br />
number of promises which God has made? Even more amazing the sheer<br />
volume of God’s promises is that He always keeps His promises.<br />
God is the greatest promise keeper that ever was. He too lives by that<br />
rule about not making a promise He can’t keep. God never promises<br />
something He can’t follow through on. He always does what He says. He<br />
always fulfills what He promises.<br />
As a child of God, you’ve prayed and prayed and prayed; but it seemed like<br />
God never heard, or that God was ignoring you, or that God was telling<br />
you “no.” Maybe you’ve stopped praying. Maybe you’ve stopped believing.<br />
Maybe you’ve stopped hoping. Let me say with Angel Gabriel, “God<br />
has heard your prayer.” He will answer, because He is not a man that<br />
He should lie or not honour His promise. And even if you have stopped<br />
praying, even if you have stopped believing, we read in 2 Timothy 2:13<br />
that even when we are faithless, He remains faithful. God has something<br />
better in mind for you than you can ask or imagine, and He is simply<br />
waiting for His timing to make it happen. It may be tomorrow, it may be<br />
next week, it may be 10 years from now. You may even have to wait until<br />
you get to heaven.<br />
God always keeps His promises. He kept His promises to Israel. He kept<br />
his promises to Zacharias. And He will keep His promises to YOU. In<br />
causing Elizabeth to become pregnant in her old age, we read the book of<br />
“Luke 1:25” that God took away her reproach. God removed her shame of<br />
