But You Promised

What parent is not familiar with the heart wrenching experience of pledging to do a certain thing for their child and, because of some unforeseen circumstance, are unable to make good on it it, and he or she cries out, “But you promised.”

Our God does not know of any such situation. When He makes a promise to His child you can be “fully persuaded that, what He [has] promised, He [is] able also to perform.” As it is written, “Hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?” Again, “Blessed be the LORD... all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised. ”Therefore, “Let us hold fast...our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised).

Charles Spurgeon said, “The best praying in the world is pleading the promises.” He goes on to say, “My brother, if you have a divine promise, you need not plead it with an “if” in it; you may plead it with certainty.” And why is this? Paul tells us, “For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen.”

O, beloved, let us never enter the Throne Room without carrying the King’s promises with us, for He Himself tells us to do so, “Put me in remembrance: let us plead together.”
