He
Really
Is “A
PROMISE
KEEPER!”
O
Eternal
Lord,
You are
the True
God, and
Your
words
are
always
true,
and You
have
made
this
good
promise
to me,
Your
servant.
2 Samuel
7:28 The
Voice
Occasionally,
I take a
step
back and
look at
my life
and try
to
comprehend
the love
of God
and how
He
demonstrates
it in my
life. I
am
overwhelmed
and
amazed
at God’s
goodness,
love and
the
impact
He has
on my
life.
The
realization
found in
2 Samuel
7:28 is
that God
keeps
His
covenant,
His Word
even
though
we don’t
uphold
our end
of the
bargain.
This is
not to
say God
can be
taken
advantage
of, but
it lets
me know
God
looks
beyond
the
appearance
and
accepts
the
heart
and its
allegiance
to Him.
Think
about
all the
promises
you may
have
broken
in your
life,
all the
times
you
didn’t
do what
you
promised
to do
and all
the
effects
and
results
that
came
because
of it. I
know I
am human
and can
fail at
any
given
time;
however,
I also
know He
will
never
fail.
This is
why we
can
proclaim
like
David
that
“His
words
are
true!”
David
was a
man that
could
have
easily
given up
on the
desires
of his
heart
because
of the
errors
of his
ways;
however,
he was
assured
that the
love of
God
transcends
barriers
and
would
reach
him in
the
deepest
and
darkest
pit.
Don’t
give
life to
the
negativity
around
you! God
sits
high and
looks
low; He
will
pluck
you out
of the
most
precarious
situations.
David’s
life is
a
testimony
to the
fact
that God
has the
final
say and
even
though
your
life may
be
headed
one way;
it’s not
too late
for a
redirection
to take
place.
David
knew the
error of
his
ways;
however,
in 2
Samuel
7:28
David is
in
prayer
and says
to the
Lord,
“You
have
made
this
good
promise
to me,
Your
servant.”
Just
because
you mess
up
doesn’t
mean you
no
longer
belong
to God.
Even
though
you make
mistakes,
the
goodness
God
planted
in you
before
the
foundation
of the
world
will
sprout
and come
to life.
Jesus
said He
came for
the
broken;
this
means He
came for
you.
God’s
Word is
trustworthy;
His
promises
are
valid.
He
didn’t
come
expecting
you to
be
perfect,
He came
expecting
for you
to give
Him a
chance
to
perfect
you. In
the
midst of
the mess
that
outlined
David’s
life,
God
assured
him that
the
promise
would be
fulfilled.
In
reading
this
passage,
I pray
you find
great
pleasure
and
comfort
in
knowing
the
promises
of God
will be
fulfilled
in your
life. I
believe
His
perfection
is
taking
root in
your
life! We
all,
like
David,
have
messed
up. We
have
given in
to
temptation
and we
have
fallen
short.
However,
this
passage
reminds
us of
the
importance
God
still
has in
our
lives
even in
times
where we
think we
are
beyond
His
reach.
David
was at a
point
where he
wanted
to do so
much for
God but
building
the
temple
would
not be
allowed
because
he had
too much
blood on
his
hands.
Through
this
message
to David
provided
by the
prophet
Nathan,
David is
reminded
of the
mistakes
that he
has made
while
also
being
assured
of the
love
that God
has for
him.
Before
you were
formed
God knew
all the
mistakes
you
would
make;
however,
He still
created
a plan
for you
to
overcome
every
pitfall
and
reach
higher
heights
in and
through
Him. His
Word,
His
covenant
is
indeed
trustworthy.
Remember
this: He
has
promised
good
things
to His
servant,
that is
you and
me!
Victorious
by His
Grace!
