“KEEP OUR PROMISES!”
Psalm 51:10
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.

Have you ever wondered who you count on to do what they have promised to do? Let me ask another, more penetrating question. Have you ever made a commitment to someone and after days, weeks, or even months later realize that you have failed to follow through? You have betrayed your trust, my friend!

It is a serious thing to violate your promise to those around you, but what about promises to the Lord? What promises have you made to Him that you have failed to keep? This is a question that I try to apply to myself as often as possible. I must confess that there have been times I have had to hang my head in shame and ask the Lord to forgive my failure.

It is easy to see the faults of others while at the same time ignoring my own shortcomings. I think that the more easily we find fault in others, the easier it is to overlook the lack of trust in our own lives.

There have been many times that people have disappointed me by saying one thing and then doing another. It has hurt and made me feel betrayed. My battleground is taking my hurt to the foot of the cross and understanding how those closest to Jesus betrayed His trust. But thank the Lord they renewed their commitment and, after the resurrection, were even able to give their lives rather than betray Him once again. With the help of the Lord that is the kind of trust, I seek for myself. Let’s keep our promises!

Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
