The LORD

Always

Keeps His Promises

Scripture

Psalms 145

The Lord always keeps his promises;
    he is gracious in all he does.

¹⁴ The Lord helps the fallen
    and lifts those bent beneath their loads.
¹⁵ The eyes of all look to you in hope;
    you give them their food as they need it.
¹⁶ When you open your hand,
    you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing.
¹⁷ The Lord is righteous in everything he does;
    he is filled with kindness.
¹⁸ The Lord is close to all who call on him,
    yes, to all who call on him in truth.

Observation

In a marriage relationship when the words “always” and “never” are tossed back and forth it is usually not done in a nice way. You “always” bring up stuff that is in the past, or how about you “never” pick up your clothes off the floor!

Even when we try our best we don’t always keep our promises. We like to point out how politicians never keep the many promises that they make during an election, but you and I have to admit that we too fall short. Hopefully not to the same level that politicians, but we still at times come up short and we don’t deliver on what we have promised.

We promised to love and cherish our spouse. How are we doing on keeping that promise?

The LORD always keeps His promises! Always! He never lets us down.

 Application

I will trust the Lord completely today. I will think about all of His wonderful promises.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, You always keep Your promises; You are gracious in all You do. You help the fallen and lift those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to You in hope; You give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, You satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. You are righteous in everything You do; You are filled with kindness. You are close to all who call on You, yes, to all who call on You in truth. (Psalm 145:13-18)
