Promises kept

11/18/2020

​11/18/20
Today's devotion for today is based on 1 John 2:21, "I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth."
In this last hour, it is so vital that we cling to the truth so that we might recognize falsehood when we encounter one. We know that the truth we cling to is more than a set of ideas. We follow Jesus, who himself is the truth. No lie comes from the truth. Nothing false, misleading, manipulative, or deceitful comes from Jesus. As the Good Shepherd, he will not lead you astray.
Praise the Lord that we can trust what he says to be true. He does not speak in vain. None of his promises are empty. He cannot lie because he is the definition of truth. Take a moment to recall your favorite promise from the Lord, and then rejoice because it is not a fairytale or a nice poem – it is the truth.
Please pray with me the prayer for today: Heavenly Father, creator, and sustainer of all things, seen and unseen, I thank you that your words are not empty. Your word always accomplishes what it sets out to do. I ask that your promises would come alive to me today. Please give me a renewed passion for your word. In Jesus' holy name, I pray. Amen.
