promises

The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. Instead He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

- 2 Peter 3:9

 

There are all kinds of promises.  

Pinkie swears are promises. 
Promising a friend or co-worker a secret would not be shared.  
Promises made in marriage vows. 
Promising children that they can stay up late or have dessert or a desired toy.

Many promises get broken, there are probably more broken promises than there are kept promises.

Sometimes, keeping a promise requires patience, and that is not always easy.

Think about how patient God is with us, He gives us free will to make our own choices, even the bad ones, yet He promises that He will always be there to pick us up when we fall, to rescue us from the darkness we have hidden ourselves under, all we have to do is call.

We call out to Him, we ask for forgiveness (and we don’t keep repeating our sin) and He follows through on His promise.

He will never leave us or forsake us, as He said over 100 times in the Bible.

And God will always keep His promises, we are the ones that are slow.
