The LIVING GOD #PROMISED

Do you #tell others, “Sure I’ll do a certain thing with or for you.”  Yet, it never happens!  Are you a#procrastinator, people #pleaser, #liar or just a self-centered #opportunist?  Does your #word reflect your #performance?   My mother left an indelible imprint on me by her promise keeping actions.  When I was in the second grade, Mother promised me that we would go to the Rex Theatre for a Friday night movie with popcorn! (there was no tv or video)  In my young mind that week seemed like a month waiting for showtime.  Wouldn’t you know something would come along to shadder my dream …It started to snow and it would not stop!  We did not have a car and were planning to walk.  Mother being a practical mother said we would have to postpone.  I was heartbroken then she said, “Get your snowboots and bundle up!  I promised and we will go together hand in hand through the snow to the show.”   We were the only people in the theatre that night, and while popcorn has never smelled better, the love of my mother is the warmth that I remember, because she chose to keep a promise in spite of the circumstances.   The Bible tells us over and over how God keeps His Promises.  11Chronicles 6:4 “Blessed be the LORD GOD of Israel who has with His hands fulfilled that which He spoke with His mouth…” 10 “The LORD has performed His word that He has spoken …as the LORD PROMISED”  Heb. 10:23 “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for the LORD who PROMISED IS FAITHFUL.”      Heb.12:1-15
