Promises, Promises

TGIF (the light at the end of the tunnel is about to come into sight!). Today's devotional hits on the subject of promises and "our word." We all know at least one person who is constantly breaking their promises-- how does that change your perception of them? Do you believe that they'll keep future promises, or do you make back-up plans "just in case"?

A lot of times when we make promises we give "our word," as evidence of our sincerity. Take a minute to think about just how good your "word" is. The only one I can think of who never broke a promise is God. We believe him when he makes a promise because we have no reason to think otherwise. Ephesians 5:1 calls for us to "Be imitators of God" and part of that means living up to our promises.
