PROMISE #212 - JULY 31
Promise #212:
Every promise that I make is true for I do not lie or change My mind.
Numbers 23:19 (WEB)
God is not a man, that he should lie,
nor the son of man, that he should repent.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?
In today's promise, Numbers 23:19 tells us that God is not a man who should lie. One of the problems we have relating to God is the ability to trust Him completely. We struggle to trust him because we have learned from life's experiences that people do not always keep their promises.
While I don't think we intentionally make the same assumptions about God, there is something in the human heart that can sometimes project onto God the same disappointments that we have experienced with people close to us. We can often assume that God will treat us just like our earthly fathers did. If we struggle to trust our parents, we may struggle to trust God.
But this promise clearly says that God is unlike anyone on earth. He does not lie or change His mind. Every promise that He makes is entirely true! The work that God has called us to is to believe that He is who He says He is.
May faith rise in our hearts today and cry out 'Yes and Amen!' to every promise God makes! He is true, faithful, and always keeps His promises.
