God Keeps His Promises

There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.” When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!” And Moses said, “Here I am.” – Exodus 3:2-4

After reading today’s key passage, you may be asking, “What does a burning bush or a Red Sea or a man named Moses have to do with me?” The truth of the matter is, we all come face-to-face at times with burning bushes. Moses is a lot like all of us and the God of Moses is still alive today and wants to move in your life the same way He moved in his.

Over the next two days, you are going to learn three lessons that will teach you not to ever beat around a bush that calls your name. If you feel like you are living on the backside of the desert and nobody knows about your life or cares about it, and you even feel like God has forgotten you, take these three lessons to heart. Let’s look at the first one today and we’ll dive into the other two tomorrow.

First, we must remember that God confirms His promise. God had not gone to sleep at the wheel in Moses’ life. God had not turned His back on His people. God had not forgotten His promise. When you make a promise or I make a promise, we may forget that promise or we may fail to keep that promise, but God doesn’t forget, and God doesn’t fail.

Though Moses didn’t know it when he was born, his parents didn’t know it when they conceived him, and the Israelites didn’t know it when they saw him, this man named Moses was sent to remind us that God confirms His promise. God always does what God says He will do.

Are you waiting on God to fulfill a promise in your life? If you are, let me encourage you. Don’t lose hope. Don’t stop waiting. Don’t give up. Instead, trust in your Heavenly Father to come through for you. He will fulfill His promises. You can take that to the bank.

Dear Father, thank you for being a promise maker, a promise rememberer, and a promise keeper. I pray that you would give me a renewed sense of hope, patience, and faith as I wait on you to fulfill your promises in my life. In Jesus’ name, amen.
