God Keeps His Promises

There is no greater comfort than knowing that God keeps His promises. He is faithful to perform and faithful to fulfill every word He has spoken to His children. As Herbert Lockyer wisely states, “The value of a promise depends upon the character of the promiser and his ability to do what he has promised.” God’s character speaks for itself.

There is no doubt in the believer’s mind that God will fail or lie in fulfilling what He has promised. He proves Himself daily as He fulfills promise after promise in the lives of His children. His integrity is unmatched. His faithfulness is unwavering. His track record is perfect. There is no other who can fulfill every promise made—only God.

Lockyer further reminds us, “When we come to consider the promises of God, we can at once and without fear dismiss from our minds any misgivings on any point.” There is no uncertainty in what God can do or what He will do. His promises are sure, steadfast, and secure.

Salter outlines four pillars that uphold the promises of God:

1. God’s justice and holiness, which will not allow Him to deceive.
2. His grace and goodness, which will not allow Him to forget.
3. His truth, which will not allow Him to change.
4. His power, which enables Him to accomplish all He has spoken.

To accept the promises God has fulfilled is to honor His Word. The same God who fulfilled His promises in Scripture is the same God who remains faithful today. Every promise will be fulfilled—in His timing. And His timing is perfect in every way.

As you wait, continue to trust. God will fulfill the greatest promise He has made to you. He can. He will. He always does.
