I greet you in Jesus’ precious name! It is Thursday morning, the 29th of August, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. 

We start in the Book of Malachi 3:6:

”For I am the Lord, I do not change;…“

Isn’t that a beautiful promise? Our Lord cannot tell lies, it is against His nature, He can’t do it. If we look at Numbers 23:19, the Bible says:

”God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” 

Oh, you can bank on it, He will not disappoint you. I think, one of the hardest things for us to face is broken promises - when your husband promised he’d be home at 7 o’clock and he doesn’t come home, or that young lady promised that she’d deliver and she didn’t do it. It is so heart wrenching, isn’t it? But the good news is, there is One that we can be absolutely confident in, yes, His name is Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6:

”being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you, will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;” 

Isn’t that wonderful? I want to say to you today that with a world that is so insecure, where you can’t trust anyone, there is One who is trustworthy. I read a beautiful reading early this morning, written by a mighty man of God, Samuel Rutherford. He said, and I quote:

”Our hope is not hung up upon such untwisted thread as for example, “I imagine so” or “It is likely”. No, rather it is the cable, the strong rope of our fastened anchor. It is the oath and the promise of Him who is eternal truth. Our salvation is fastened with God’s own hand and Christ’s own strength, to the strong stake of God’s unchanging nature.”

Today, put your trust in the Lord. He will never disappoint you.

Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, 
Goodbye.
