Finders Keepers

• Do you think God would ever break a promise? Why or why not?

• Name some promises God has given us in the Bible.

“I will make an everlasting covenant with them: I will never stop doing good to them, and I will inspire them to fear me, so that they will never turn away from me.”
Jeremiah 32:40

We might imagine that God got pretty frustrated with the Israelites. Over the years, they repeatedly turned away from him. And yet, God never gave up on them. He never broke his promise to them. He told them that they were his people, and he remained true to his word. He told them that he would send them a Messiah to redeem them, and he did.

God doesn’t break promises. He didn’t break his promises to the Israelites, and he won’t break the ones he’s made to us either. And he’s made many. He’s promised to care for us. He’s promised to exalt us. He’s promised to love us. And he’s promised us salvation through the blood of Jesus.

If you ever have any doubt about your salvation, talk to God about it. Take your doubt to the Word and ask the Holy Spirit to abolish it. Because once you belong to God, you belong to him for good.

PRAYER
Dear God, thank you for your promises. Please help us to lean on them, believe in them and trust in them. We know that you don’t break promises, Lord, and we thank you and praise you. Amen.
