He Will Perform His Promises

May 25

Things are not always as they first appear. Many have learned that lesson because they made a snap decision based upon initial information that subsequently proved to be erroneous. Many of us have done something as simple as to follow a fashion fad because ‘everyone’ was wearing it only to recognize it was totally unsuitable for our body type.

Many of us have purchased exercise equipment with utmost confidence that it would help us keep our resolve to get our weight to a desirable level, that we would be toned and fit, only to recognize after months of the equipment sitting unused in the basement that we simply aren’t as resolute as we thought we were.

There is One upon Whom we may stake our confidence, knowing with absolute certainty that, “What He has promised, He is able to perform,” Romans 4:21. He is the One whose Word assures us, “The Lord will not reject His people; He will never forsake His inheritance. Judgment will again be founded on righteousness, and the upright in heart will follow it,” Psalm 94:14, 15. We live in an age when right and wrong have been turned around.

The deception of the enemy has blinded the eyes of many to the danger of abandoning God’s law and living as a law unto ourselves. But those who trust in the One who is steadfast and true may rest confidently in His assurance that they have been neither forsaken nor rejected—and on that great day of Jesus’ appearing, righteousness will be established. Unlike fickle man, our God is ever faithful; He will perform His promises.
