No Promises

As a child have you ever prayed so hard for something that you would squeeze your eyes tighter. As if the harder you gripped your hands and the more you squinted your eyes, your request to God would come true. Today I did a YouTube video where I talked about having no more promises. I gave a summary of where I have been and how I've been doing. Then I made a statement about having no more promises. Maneuvering through and not knowing 100%, what is the next move. It was freeing and definitely needed.

Have you made any promises lately that you just feel like you can't keep? Or perhaps you made some promises to yourself that you haven't been able to keep and you're being reminded of what they are in this moment. Seems like broken promises stab the heart right in the precise place that causes the most pain. Broken promises have a aching feeling that just hurts different. When you experience a broken promise, you experience broken trust and broken alliance.

As I write I'm reminded of so many broken promises. I am reminded of just how human we can be. This life that we live provides us with false sense of many promises. The promise that if you work hard, you'll have enough money at the end of the month. The promise that if you love well, you'll be loved back. The promise that if you go to school and do well, you'll have a good job when you graduate. The promise that if you give your all to your company, they in return will allow you to stay there and earn a living. The promise that if you take care of yourself, then your health remains well.

All these promises surround us and yet there is security in none of them. Sure we can pinpoint some secure situations from day to day, but the reality is there are no promises.

Promises That Never Break

God outlines promises throughout His word that we can rely on. Now I know what you are thinking, there are some promises that you definitely are still waiting on. There might even be some promises that you have given up hope on. Yet the reality remains the same, the promises from God are not broken. Rest assured that when we go before the Lord and when He speaks His promises over us, they will come to pass.

Spend some time in prayer this week and spend some time reading His word. Let's pause and see if we can identify some of God's promises for our lives.

Questions for reflection and/or journaling.
