"For
all the
promises
of God
in
Christ
are
Yes"
He remembers His covenant forever, the word which He commanded for a thousand generations Psalms 105:8
Isn't that just beautiful? that God will remember the word
that He has given us forevermore. Not just today or tomorrow. You know, it
becomes an eternal thing. Especially in this day and age where you cannot place
your expectation on man (human beings). Nor can you hold on so tightly, as a
matter of life and death, to a word or promise that someone gave ; just because
they said so. The only being we can completely rely on, place our 100 percent
trust on no matter the circumstances, is God. "For
all the promises of God in Him(Christ) are Yes." 2Corinthians 1:20
We can never be disappointed and we hold on to the word that
we believe in, the word from God. No matter how rough it gets or the challenges
that we face, His word will come to pass. When the Israelites were held in
bondage in Israel, God heard their groaning and He remembered His covenant with
Abraham. Actually Scripture just says that "they cried out" and not
necessarily that they cried out to God. When He heard them He remembered His
covenant, the promise that He had made to Abraham and He freed them.
Throughout their journey in the wilderness, they complained
and tested God and He could have destroyed them. But then again He is merciful,
He considered and "remembered His holy promise, and Abraham His servant." Psalms 105:42 Note the word "Holy";
God's promises are not only true, but also holy. They have been given by a
righteous and holy being. Scriptures also says that;
God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? Numbers 23:19
This is powerful! So you can be sure that He will not be
giving an apology because He did not make it happen. What He said He will do,
not as we human beings do. Nor is He rush with words, that He will say
something just for the sake of that moment then realizes afterwards that it cannot
happen. Even we ourselves sometimes make promises to others, worse still to
ourselves and later forget or change with a change in circumstances.
If you are looking for a place you can lay your head; for a
foundation that you can completely put your trust on; for someone you can rely
on...then God is the way to go. Jesus is the answer. And He has said that He
will never leave us.
The only condition is that we believe in Him; that we believe
in Jesus Christ and accept His love and redemption for us. The truth in God's
promises was further affirmed when He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice
for our sins, just so that we could be redeemed; He kept His covenant with
Abraham. Genesis 12:3
