Good Morning Friends,
“Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran. When
he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking
one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had
a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching
to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There
above it stood the LORD, and he said: ‘I am the LORD, the God of your father
Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on
which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and
you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.
All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with
you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this
land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’”
(Genesis 28:10-15)
One thing the Lord said to Jacob in the dream
stands out to me, it is the last phrase: “I will not leave you until I have
done what I have promised you.”
That sentence speaks of the ultimate
faithfulness of God. It is not just true of this promise to Jacob, but of every
promise God has made. God will ALWAYS keep His promises.
We can’t stand in the way of God keeping His
promises. Paul declared, “If we are faithless, he will remain faithful.” (2
Timothy 2:13) God’s promises are not dependent upon us, but upon Him.
Neither Satan, nor any other power that might
exist in the universe can keep God from keeping His promises. Nothing and no
one is strong enough to tie God’s hands so that He cannot move to do what He
said He would do.
God made a promise to Jacob, and He kept it!
What promises has God made to you?
Know this: God will keep those promises! You
can count on it. You can count on Him!
His, by Grace,
Steve
