The value of God's promises

“I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.” Psalm 119:162
God’s promises are some of the most precious things we can have. He is the only One who will never fail us. If He has promised us something in His Word, we can be sure He will follow through on it.
The promise of salvation for those who have committed their lives to Christ. The promise of eternity in heaven with Him. The promise that He will never leave us nor forsake us. The promise that He is watching over us for our ultimate good, every second of every day.
When we truly grasp what these mean, that out of this whole enormous universe, God cares for you and me as individuals – that He knows how many hairs are on our heads – it should leave us speechless. We have done nothing to deserve this level of attention, but it is all because of His unconditional love for us (which again, we don’t deserve).
The thrill we might have over winning the Lotto jackpot will eventually pass. The money will get spent and the cars and boats and houses will get old and break down. But God’s promises are just as reliable as they were on the day He had them written down in the Scriptures. Now that’s something we can all rejoice in.
