Making Time for God

17. You Keep Your Promises

It's me again God,

Sometimes I have prayed for something for so long that I am so overwhelmed when Your answer comes along! Lord You are so perfect and majestic, You know everything there is about me and so I can confidently leave everything in Your hands. Thank You Lord that Your answers to my prayers are always on time and bring glory to Your Name. I am so thankful today for the way You have kept Your promises to me. All Your promises are 'Yes' and 'Amen' in Jesus!

"For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ. And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God."
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:20‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I just want to thank You particularly for these promises directly from Your Word today:

"The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made." Psalm 145:9 NIV

Thank You for being so good to me and having compassion on me even when I was lost in sin.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever." 1 Chronicles 16:34 NIV

Thank You that You are a good God and Your love for me never ends!

Thank You that you are faithful to all the generations of my family.

"Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows." James 1:17 NIV

In this world where everything seems to be changing, You do not change!

"Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant." 2 Samuel 7:28 NIV

Thank You that I can trust in You, for You are completely trustworthy!
