Promise

“And now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.” ~ 2 Samuel 7:28

We all want a friend who keeps their promise. We trust friends who can hold a confidence, be trusted with a sensitive secret, or who follow their words with their actions. In 2 Samuel, we see that God keeps His promises. The whole book tells of the way that God kept His promise to David. David is the shepherd boy who became a warrior in the army of Saul. David is the one that Samuel anointed to be the king of Israel after Saul. Now we see that God is keeping His promise.

Understanding that God keeps His promises tells us a lot about the character of God. God is faithful. What God says is always true. God will never lie to us or deceive us. God knows what is best and works for our best. God watches over us to help us experience all that He has promised. God is in control and can transform our present moments and our future lives.

God promises His people some amazing things. God promises to forgive our sin. God promises to walk through every moment with us and never leave us alone. God promises changed lives and changed hearts. God promises that we can live with Him today and through eternity. To understand that God keeps His promises is to experience hope, assurance, and stability. We serve a faithful God who watches over our lives. How blessed we are to experience His love and care.
