“Have
I no power to deliver?” Isaiah 50:2
It is an election year, and sadly
for us living in Iowa, it is an election year. Our phones never stop ringing
and our mailboxes are always full. Full of what? Empty promises! If there were
ever to be a politician who made no promises but only expressed his ideas of
how things should be done, he wouldn’t be given a moments attention. It is
promises that people love and it is the failure to fulfill those promises that
people hate. With man there is simply no way to fix a broken world.
But with God? With God there is
fulfillment. God has never made a promise He has not kept or will not keep. He
promised a redeemer. He gave Him. He promised forgiveness of sin. He gave Him.
He promised peace, perfect peace, and He gave Him. He promised the certainty of
the resurrection and everlasting life and He gave Him. He promised to deliver
us and He gave us the Deliverer. Yes, He has the power to keep His promises.
Dear Father, Open our eyes to see
the power of Your word and the certainty of Your promises. Amen.
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
