Draw Close: 21 Days to Know GodSample

“It is the same with my word. I send it out and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.” Isaiah 55:11 NLT

Promises are powerful.

I don’t know about you, but I always try to keep my promises. Yet sometimes I fail. I forget. I get distracted. I over-commit. I drop the ball. I don’t come through with what I promised and so I let people down, I disappoint them, or at worst break their trust in me.

But God isn’t like that. And I am so glad.

He always keeps his promises, He never forgets us or gets distracted. When you pray he hears every word and his attention is focused on you. He is 100% committed to us, 100% faithful. And he never ever lets us down.

God’s promises to us are in the bible. Thousands of them, from Genesis to Revelation. And his promises help us get to know him and his character. Here are a few to get you started:

“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19

“For God has said, ‘I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.’” Hebrews 13:5b

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, You will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2

“He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.” Psalm 147:3

“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.'" Matthew 11:28

Today, look for God’s promises in his Word. Underline them. Pick one and memorize it. You can count on him to always come through with what he has promised.
