For every one of God’s promises is “Yes” in him. —2 Corinthians 1:20
Have you ever wondered why God included thousands of promises in the Bible? Was it so we could have something to hold over His head and force Him to act on our behalf? I don’t think so. God made promises to His children to give us hope and to reveal His nature.
He promised to provide our needs because He’s a generous God who takes good care of His children (Matt. 6:26). He promised never to leave us or forsake us to show us that He’s a faithful God who won’t abandon us in our times of need (Heb. 13:5). He promised to guide us through life because He’s a kind Father who wants us to experience the joy of obedience and avoid the pain of foolish actions (Psalm 23:3).
Each promise gives us hope, reflects His character, and affirms that He’s a good God, worthy of our trust. God hears and answers prayer. He calls us to pray. We can claim God’s promises and trust His character. We can pray on!
