Promises of God

Deuteronomy 4:31 “For the LORD thy God is a merciful God; He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them”

The Lord has always given us a reason to depend on Him. What a wonderful promise He writes to us today – He will never forget the promises that he has promised us from the beginning! What more could we ask for.

I have experienced the mercies of God in my life. When I was still in school, I never really used to study. I was lazy and it did not matter what my grades looked like when it came to end of year results. This particular year, I noticed something needed to change and I couldn’t continue producing mediocre results. I prayed to God, asked for forgiveness for my laziness and was determined to make a right about change. I began to take my studies seriously. I was left with just over a month to my final exams. Exams came and I had to write them under intense pressure. I didn’t think I would pass all ten modules but God did it! The Faithful One came through for me at a time when I needed Him most. The ‘normal’ thing would be to let me fail and realize my mistakes but He took the merciful way and let me pass that I may believe on His word.

Lamentations 3:22, 23 “It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. There are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness.”
