God Has Promised, Part 3
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Trust the heart of the Promise Giver: We will not have the confidence we need to pray unless we trust in the character of the One who has spoken the promises. Often people who make promises to us also tell us to trust them. They may be sincere in their request, but even the best intentions are flawed by human weakness, forgetfulness, and limited resources.

There are no flaws in God’s character and no empty words in His promises. We can be thankful that as we ask for our daily bread, we do not call upon a God with human weaknesses or limitations, but upon the One who loves us with a perfect love and has promised to supply all our needs from His glorious riches that have been given to us in Jesus Christ.

God is not a man that He should tell or act a lie, neither the son of man, that He should feel repentance or compunction [for what He has promised]. Has He said and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken and shall He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19 AMPC).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Lord, I am weary. The turmoil in the world wears me down and distracts me from keeping my eyes on You. People who are in places of authority and attention make promises to us and tell us to trust them. Because of their human weakness, forgetfulness, and limited resources, I can't trust them to follow through! Only You are perfect, and can be trusted. You alone are dependable! Capture my gaze and help me to keep my eyes upon You and Your perfect love. Help me to remember that You will supply all of my needs from Your glorious riches. No matter what is going on in my life, my neighborhood, my city, this world, You are ALWAYS in control. You are never surprised or caught off guard. You have a purpose for all things, and sometimes it's just for me to draw closer to You. Give me courage to trust You in these hard seasons. I know that You love me and care for me. In Jesus's name, amen.
