1 Kings 8:23-24   ²³ He said, “O LORD, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart, ²⁴ the covenant that you kept for your servant my father David as you declared to him; you promised with your mouth and have this day fulfilled with your hand.

People make promises all the time. But it is hard for us to keep all of them. We are fallible. We may be unable to do what we promised because of circumstances out of our control, our own insufficiencies, committing to more than we can handle. Some just promise what they think we want to hear to get us on their side. They have no intention of keeping those promises and create hurtful relationships.

God keeps his promises. Even when we fail to keep the ones we have made to Him, He is faithful. God loves us with an everlasting love. God walks with us through difficulties. God provides for our needs. God is always there for us.

Lord, thank you that you are faithful and keep your promises. Help us to trust in you. Amen.
