GOD’S PERFECT WORD---PROMISES AND COVENANTS
Has anyone ever
Made you a promise
And not kept their word
Has God
The answers are
Yes and no
At least by the experience
Of my own life
I have been let down
Over and over again
By human beings
But not by God
God always
Keeps his word
A covenant is defined
As an agreement between two parties
A solemn promise of vow
Especially between God and people
God always keeps his covenant
God always keeps his word
God said to Noah,
“Never again
Will the waters become a flood
To destroy all the earth
Whenever the RAINBOW appears
In the clouds
I will see it
And remember the everlasting covenant
Between GOD and ALL LIVING CREATURES
Of every kind”
Man makes promises
Do they keep them
Sometimes yes and sometimes no
Not so with God
God always keeps his word
God said to Abraham,
“AS for me
This is my covenant with you
You will be
The Father of many nations
No longer will you be called Abram
I have made you
The Father of many nations”
Christian, Muslim, and Jew
God always keeps his word
God said to the Jewish people through Moses
“You are standing here
In order to enter in to a covenant
With the Lord your God
A covenant the Lord is making with you
This day and sealing with an oath
To confirm you this day as his people
That he may be your God
As he promised you
And as he swore to your fathers
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”
Deuteronomy 29:11
Do people keep their promises
Sometimes yes---sometimes no
God always keeps his promises
With God---it is always so
God told Nathan
To go and tell David,
“Your house and your kingdom
Will endure forever before me
Your thrown will be
established forever” 2 Samuel
7: 13
God always keeps his word
With people
Promises made---sometimes
Are promises broken
With God---that is never so
God always keeps his word
“This is the covenant
I will make with them
I will
Put my laws in their hearts
And I will write them
On their minds” Hebrews
10:16
GOD’S WORD IS PERFECT
GOD ALWAYS
KEEPS HIS WORD
