You Can Trust Him!

“Now the LORD said to Abram,
‘Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father's house,
To the land which I will show you;
And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.’” Genesis 12:1-3


How trustworthy is God? Is there a statute of limitations on His promises? Consider the promise He made to David years ago. “Your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.” 2 Samuel 7:16

God’s messenger to Mary 2,000 years ago made clear the child she carried was the Promised One Who would sit upon the throne of David forever. “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David; and He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.” Luke 1:31-33

God’s promises required the resurrection of Jesus from the dead in order that His reign might be eternal. Whether you are a physical descendant of Abraham or not, God’s fulfillment of His promise is reason for rejoicing. Through the seed of Abraham we have all be blessed. We still worship the God of Abraham, Who does not change. He is as faithful to fulfill His promises to you as to Abraham.

What is your need today? What specific promise has He given you in His Word? Trust Him for today. You know His Word is true. His resurrection power unequaled. And, it is yours.
