November Gratitude Stone 25 Promises
2 Cor. 1:20 For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes†in Christ. And so through him the “Amen†is spoken by us to the glory of God.
Do I trust God and His promises? The only way to know if faith is genuine is to see how it holds up under testing. If I buy a waterproof case for my phone and it never gets wet, it has not proven to be waterproof. Â But if it falls in the toilet and still works, then it really is waterproof! Similarly, If I say I believe God’s word and trust in His promises, it isn’t proven until I really do lean in and trust Him even when my husband is dying of brain cancer, for example. Â Only after struggles and trials do I know that I really do trust God and experience His hope and joy with a thankful heart no matter what.
I am glad when someone can keep a promise, but to never, ever break one?! Wow! Â God’s promises reflect His own qualities and nature. Â They are true. powerful. eternal. kind. good. guaranteed. They are for me! Â They show the sovereignty of His grace. They find their certainty in Christ.
Thank you for promising good to me. Always.
