KEEPING PROMISES

3 Kingdoms 8:22-24 (1 Kings 8:22-24)

You have kept what You promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth, and fulfilled it with Your hand, as today. Now, O Lord God of Israel, keep what You promised Your servant David my father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man sit before Me on the throne of Israel, so long as your people guard and keep their ways to walk before Me, as you walked before Me.’ So now, O Lord God of Israel, let the word be confirmed You spoke to Your servant David my father.

Personal Challenge

King Solomon, the son of David, has just finished building the temple for God. In his dedication prayer, he recalls how God has kept His promise to His chosen people. Throughout the scriptures we see that God often enters into agreements with His children. These agreements always have a promise of what will be received if the children uphold their part of the agreement, which they, we, often don’t. Yet, God always keeps His promise, His part of the agreement. We are fallen and sin. He is not. He is constant and always keeps His promises. We are the fortunate benefactors of this. Glory be to God!
