PROMISE #120 - APRIL 30
Promise #120:
You can hold on to the hope that I will not change what I have promised.
Hebrews 6:17-18 (WEB)
17 In this way God, being determined to show more abundantly to the heirs of the promise the immutability of his counsel, interposed with an oath; 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.
In today's Scripture passage, the writer of Hebrews reminds us that we are heirs to God's promise. He also emphasizes that we can trust in God's unchangeable nature because it is impossible for Him to lie. Since God is the ultimate promise keeper, we can depend on everything He has promised to be true. We can trust Him wholeheartedly and rely on all that He has stated.
The English Standard Version translates Hebrews 6:17-18 as follows: 17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. (ESV)
Every promise made by our God and Father is yes and amen in Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:20) May we all be filled with faith today to declare that God is faithful to fulfill all He has promised, for He is a good Father who keeps His Word! ...and it is impossible for Him to lie.

Responsive Prayer:
Father, thank you that every promise you have made in Christ is yes and amen for me. I pray that I will not lose heart when I have not yet seen your promises fulfilled. I know you are the ultimate promise keeper, and I am one of your beloved heirs. Therefore, I pray that I will be filled with hope today, knowing I can trust in you with all my heart because I know you always keep your Word.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
