PROMISES
“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. For I am the Lord your God” (Isaiah 43:2).
We want people making promises to us that we can count on. I want to believe the vows that Anita made to me when we were married 38 years ago. I want to believe the contract our banker signed when we refinanced our house. I want to believe the prayers of commitment that people have made to the Lord. And I want to believe the promises God has given me in His Word.
But, sometimes the pressure Satan brings into my life, into the church, into the economy, into the moral world around us get us sidetracked. We begin to doubt, and that erodes our confidence. God never changes; He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Its the world that keeps changing. So, I have to remind myself of the promises God has given to His people and hold them close like that wedding ring. The Holy Spirit is the seal of the promise. Reread the above promise and remember this is how God feels about you as His child.
