From the Bible, the book of Numbers 23:19 says, "God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that He should change his mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?"
You see, in the Bible whenever God promises something, it always come true! For example, when Mary and Joseph were hoping for a baby, God sent His angels to tell them that Mary would bear a child, but of course it wasn't easy for Mary to believe God as she was already past her age to get pregnant, adding to the fact that she is barren. But when that time came, and she bore a child - Jesus - the only thing she could think of was that her dreams came true! God's promise was real! Another example was when the Israelites were fleeing from the Egyptians and Pharaoh's army. God promised them that He would take care of them, and guess what? God secured a road ahead for them, gave them a pillar of cloud and pillar of fire so that they could travel both day or night, gave them food to eat, and even protected them from Pharaoh's army as He swiped the army out into the sea! These are just 2 examples out of the entire Bible, so shouldn't we trust God more when we know His promises are forever true?
You see, God's love and promises reigns through generations to generations, and we on the other hand have the decision to choose whether to hold on to the promise He has given us - Living eternally with Him - or to disregard it as just another fairytale. The thing about God is that He can do anything He wants, and nothing in this world can limit Him at all! The smartest and wisest men on earth may claim that they know everything and most probably anything! But they cannot be compared to God, because wisdom and knowledge comes from God!
From the Bible, the book of Isaiah 40:28-31 says, "Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fail; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."
Yes, you've read it right! The Lord is everlasting! He created the world from point blank, and He also created us! And one of the most amazing thing is that we will persevere and our strength will be renewed when we put our hope in the Lord!
Ever get tired of saying no when everyone else seems to be saying yes? Ever get tired of trusting God when everything seems to go wrong? Don't throw your commitment away just because life gets difficult. Ask God to give you the strength you need to stay faithful to Him! Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord =)
Because He is God, He is not limited by human needs, impulses and weaknesses. He won't feed you lies just to make you feel good. He will never fail to keep His word when He promise to do something for you! Let Him show you what a perfect friendship can be like =)
Remember, God has none of the limitations of a human - not even one! Luke 18:27 says that "What is impossible with men is possible with God!" =)
All the best in your journey of life my brothers and sisters in Christ!
- When all else fails, God doesn't -
