No Promises Broken

We are getting flooded with promises these days, with it being Fall of an even year. One candidate promises one thing, and the other something different. Some of those promises will be "withdrawn" once that candidate takes office. Other promises will be "amended" so it's not even the original statement. It is a season full of empty promises.

Television offers a whole new slate of promises. This product will remove stains, and this other product will make you look better, make you skinnier or make your hair shinier. Advertisers know how to push our buttons. They make promises without actually making promises.

But there are some promises I know won't be broken. We were promised a new heaven and new earth(2Peter 3:13); eternal life was promised before the beginning of time(Titus 1:2); He has promised a crown of life to those who believe(James 1:12); He said He would leave leave us or forsake us(Hebrews 13:5); and Jesus said, Surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age(Matthew 28:20).

These promises won't be broken.
