The Certainty of God's Promises
Thoughts on the Word
Wow, this is great encouragement. Be faithful. Love the people around you. Never forget that God rewards patience. Above all, remember that God keeps His Promises – always.
Warnings must always be followed up with encouragement. The tough warning in the previous verses are followed by the words of encouragement. The writer encourages them that they are not at that point of failure in their lives. They demonstrated the love of God in the past (they know how to release godly responses), and they have everything that they need to succeed. That is something that we need to remember when we may have to speak tough things into people’s lives and situations.
Finally, I challenge you to think of a promise that God has given you - but it has not yet been answered. Let your patience be exercised with faith. God will keep it - He will never fail to keep it.
Prayer
Father, I have promises that You have given to me that remain unanswered. How can I faithfully hold on to them, live my life for You and keep loving those around me? It seems like too much for me to hold. I drop one of them too often. Sometimes I drop the promise. Sometimes I am so focused on the promise that I miss the needy people around me. Sometimes I drop them all because I am discouraged. Father, You help me I pray. You have stronger arms than me, - and a better memory too. Thank you. In Jesus' name, Amen.

We start off Part Four of our Hebrews series with the third warning: Be careful not to fall away from Jesus. When we lose sight of Jesus and our relationship with Him, we can no longer access the greater life He gives and all that it brings. Jesus is the better Priest that gives us the better covenant. Without Him, we cannot live, walk and have access to God’s promises.
