One of the many great blessings God gives us as His followers is: He always keeps His word. He is both a lavish promise-maker and a flawless promise-keeper (Number 23:19). He never lies, and therefore never breaks His promise…ever. In fact, it is “impossible for God to lie” (Heb. 6:18), so He calls us to “hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful” (Heb. 10:23).

The word “promise” can conjure up all kinds of emotions and reactions. Sometimes the word can invoke the sorrow and pain of a broken promise. Other times it can inspire the joy and hope of a promise kept or that of a future expectation.

Unfortunately, today the word “promise” connects more to the word “broken” than the word “keep.” But not so with God.
