This morning, while heading to work, a song stirred in my spirit: “When I remember His promises, I shout Hallelujah.” These words deeply resonated with me, reminding me of God’s unwavering faithfulness. As a covenant-keeping God, He fulfills every word He speaks. Today, I choose to reflect on His promises and give thanks intentionally for His steadfast nature.
A specific memory of His faithfulness came to mind—my final professional exam a few years ago. At that time, I faced one last paper to complete my certification. After the exam, I felt unsure about my performance. I realized that only God’s intervention could help me avoid retaking it. The weight of worry pressed on me, but while studying His Word later that day, a verse jumped out and reassured me:
“You will see neither wind nor rain, says the Lord, but this valley will be filled with water. You will have plenty for yourselves and your cattle and other animals.”
—2 Kings 3:17 (NLT)
God reminded me that He provides even when visible signs are absent. His Word gave me confidence that my exam answers would be enough to secure success.
Another verse further strengthened my resolve:
“Don’t say that everything these people call a conspiracy is a conspiracy. Don’t fear what they fear. Don’t let it terrify you. Remember that the Lord of Armies is holy. He is the one you should fear and the one you should be terrified of.”
—Isaiah 8:12–13 (GW)
This scripture instructed me to reject fear and resist echoing negative speculations. Some people speculated that my exam was a control paper designed to fail most candidates, but I refused to let their doubts influence my faith. Instead, I trusted the promises God had already spoken over me.
As I reflect, the lyrics of a song by Maverick City echo the trust I placed in Him:
“Though the storms may come, and the winds may blow, I’ll remain steadfast.
And let my heart learn when You speak a word, it will come to pass. Great is your faithfulness to me From the rising sun, to the setting same I will praise your name Great is your faithfulness to me”
When the results arrived in January, God proved faithful—I passed! His Word never failed, and He delivered on His promises.
The Promises of God
The Bible is filled with reminders of God’s faithfulness and His unchanging promises. Here are some powerful scriptures to encourage you:
God’s Faithfulness to His Promises- “For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does.” —Psalm 33:4 (NIV)
God’s Promises Bring Peace- “You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you!” —Isaiah 26:3 (NLT)
God’s Promises Are Unchanging- “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?” —Numbers 23:19 (NLT)
God’s Promise to Strengthen and Uphold Us- “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” —Isaiah 41:10 (NIV)
God’s Promises for a Future and Hope- “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” —Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV)
God’s Promises of Eternal Life- “And this is the promise that he has promised us—eternal life.” —1 John 2:25 (NKJV)
God’s Promise to Be With Us Always- “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” —Matthew 28:20 (NIV)
These scriptures remind us that God’s promises remain steadfast and reliable, providing peace, strength, and hope in every situation.
Today, I continue to hold onto promises He has given me, knowing that my expectations in Him will never fall short. I encourage you to do the same. Whatever God has spoken over your life, trust in His Word, for His faithfulness never fails.
So, as I reflect on His goodness, I encourage you to remember His promises too. Whatever He has spoken over your life, hold onto it with unwavering trust. God keeps His Word, and His faithfulness endures forever.
His promises are sure, and He never fails. His word remains the same His history can prove there’s nothing He can’t do, God is faithful and True.
