“Whereas
you have been forsaken and hated, I will make you an eternal excellence.”
Isaiah 60:15
It’s an election year and we are
daily bombarded with promises that cannot be fulfilled. The left cannot bring
in Utopia and the right cannot bring in righteousness. As we see the ongoing
failure of men to fulfill their promises we might begin to wonder if God will
fulfill His. He made a promise to Abraham that all the world would be blessed through
his seed. Jesus Christ, the seed of Abraham, is indeed offering the blessing of
eternal life to all the world today.
God made a promise to David that his
kingdom would last forever and that a son would reign on the throne. With the
fall of Jerusalem in 600BC many feared that promise could not be kept. With the
death of Jesus on the cross there were many who feared that since he had failed
to take out the Romans that the promise could never be fulfilled. But God says
in Isaiah that He will indeed fulfill His promise. Unlike man who cannot do
what he says; God can.
Dear Father, Thank You for steadfast
and sure promises. Amen.
