Irrevocable Promises

The LORD your God will bless you just as He promised you.

Deuteronomy 15:6

Some days are harder than others, and perhaps today is one of those days for you. Life is full of frustrations, and we can grow mighty weary with financial pressures, family problems, church misunderstandings, and workplace conflicts that can consume us. It sometimes seems like we’re losing our minds.

We may feel like we’re losing our minds, but God is not losing His! In a world of craziness, He remains stable. We need to remember that nothing revokes His faithfulness. His promises to us are irreversible, unalterable, firm, and fixed. We have a responsibility to obey Him, of course, but the outer circumstances that are out of our control must bend, in His time, to the purposes and promises of God for our lives.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer once said, “God does not give us everything we want, but He does fulfill His promises . . . leading us along the best and straightest paths to Himself.” The Lord your God will bless you, just as He has promised in His Word.

His promises are sure, His blessings are great, His grace is sufficient, His presence is near, His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.

Let God’s promises shine on your problems.
