Tuesday's Tab

God’s Word is truth (John 17:17), and God’s Word is forever settled in heaven (Psalm 119:89).

God and His Word are one, and God changes not (Malachi 3:6), therefore His Word never changes. Circumstances may change, lives may change, but remember God never changes, and His Word never changes. What He has promised us, He is able to and will perform for us. We must believe Him with simple childlike faith.

We may not see how He can bring manifestation of His promises to us, but that is okay. All He asks us to do is to believe Him.

When He gave His Word, He knew exactly how He would bring it to pass. He did not commit to something flippantly (as we sometimes do) and then wonder what kind of situation He had gotten Himself into. He had a plan to bring all He promised to pass.

Once we find out what He has promised in His Word, let’s relax in Him, and not be anxious, or overly concerned about anything. Let’s make our requests known to Him, based on His promises, with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6), realizing we have a God – a Heavenly Father – Who loves us, and Who will do for us what He has promised, in the way and the time He has planned. Let’s believe Him and receive from Him, by faith.

When we trust God to do what He has promised in His Word, we give Him pleasure, for we read in Hebrews 11:6, “Without faith it is impossible to please Him”, so when we walk in faith we are pleasing Him.

So take courage – God’s promises will never fail. I Kings 8:56 says, “Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.”
