Promise-Keeper

Some of the sweetest promises ever made to me were made by little boys in a toy store.  God, however, is the ultimate Promise-Maker!   Because he failed to keep a few, Mr. Bill will give his word but doesn't make promises.  The frailty of man is sharply contrasted by He Who cannot break a promise: "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." (2 Corinthians 1:20).  The word "amen" means "so be it," so through Christ … so be it!  There's no wiggle room, no ifs-and-or-buts, no maybes, no probablies, no hope-so's, no whatevers – God's promises are forever sealed in Christ for our benefit and to God's Glory.  In a world where lies and deceit are widespread and abundant, what extraordinary solace in Steadfast Words supported by One Who is forevermore Steadfast and Sure.  When we put our trust in Christ, the promises of God are ours and we can know with all Hope (confident expectation) they are real.  I remember well the words and faces of those sweet little promise-makers but sweeter still is The Perfect Promise-Maker. And, even sweeter -- He is the ultimate Promise-Keeper!
