GOD’S COVENANT PROMISES HOLD FAST
Can you think of a promise you made that you’ve broken? It’s a painful thought. A more painful thought would be if you could think of a promise God has broken – thankfully God’s very nature makes it impossible for him to do this. When God makes a covenant promise, it stands good for all time. We may break a promise from our side but he never does. Once in the grip of God’s amazing grace, he never lets go. Shepherd boy turned King, David celebrates this reality throughout the Psalms that told the story of his spiritual ups and downs. In Psalm 19, his soul sings out ‘my Rock and my Redeemer’ and this is the theme tune of his life. Let it be yours rather than disappointment with the deceitful shallow promises all around us in the world and you shall be as solid as a lighthouse to shine out for others.
