His Good Promise

Now when Solomon finished offering all this prayer and this plea to the LORD, he arose from facing the altar of the LORD, where he had knelt with hands outstretched toward heaven; he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice:

“Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised; not one word has failed of all his good promise, which he spoke through his servant Moses. The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our ancestors; may he not leave us or abandon us, but incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our ancestors. Let these words of mine, with which I pleaded before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, and may he maintain the cause of his servant and the cause of his people Israel, as each day requires; so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no other. Therefore devote yourselves completely to the LORD our God, walking in his statutes and keeping his commandments, as at this day.”

1 Kings 8:54-61

You can absolutely count on God. He will not disappoint. He has plans for each of our lives. We just need to fight our battles as if the outcome depended on us, and then give up the rest to God. He always keeps His promises. His Word provides comfort, hope, and wise advice that never fails.

Thousands of years later, the words of the Bible still ring true. And better yet, we are heirs of the greatest fulfilled promise of all time – Jesus! The longer you know Him, the more compelling He becomes.

So if you are looking for someone who won’t disappoint you, look no further. Jesus never fails.

Looking for someone who won’t disappoint you? Look to Jesus.
