In today’s culture, people like to make big promises, but few really deliver. Some politicians might tell you one thing, but things change once elected. Commercial products are marketed as being “life-changing” but they’re not always so. And all of us have been let down by the promise of a friend or relative at some point in life, haven’t we?  We even do it ourselves, even though we mean well.

The point is: this world is full of broken promises and things that don’t live up to our expectations. As Christians, I worry that we sometimes group God in with the rest of life’s disappointments. We think, “maybe God isn’t really interested in my life,” or “maybe Jesus isn’t really coming back” – but nothing could be further from the truth.

God is the one person we can put all of our hope in. He is the one constant who promises: “ Never will I leave you and never will I forsake you” – and He is true to His word.

The Bible says in Hebrews 13:8 that “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” And it’s true! So believe it. You can put your whole trust in God, and you will never be let down.
