Trusting God’s Promises
Posted by Karah
Who is the most trustworthy person you know? Why? List a few reasons.
Probably one of your answers was that a trustworthy person keeps his or her word. She does what she says she will; he keeps his commitments. The Bible tells us that God does everything that He says He’ll do. Every promise He makes gets fulfilled. A promise from God is more than a guarantee—it’s as good as if it were already done.
READ JEREMIAH 1:11-14. Notice that God promised disaster from the north, and soon enough, Babylon came from the north and conquered Jerusalem. God always does what He says He’ll do. Ask yourself:
When and how have you seen God fulfill His promises to you?
Do you doubt God’s ability to come through for you? Why or why not?
