God’s Promises Never Fail—Those Who Wait Are Never Disappointed!

God cannot lie. He cannot forget. He cannot fail.

Every word He has spoken will stand when Heaven and earth have passed away. Joshua testified after decades of wilderness and war: “There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass” (Joshua 21:45). Not one promise dropped to the ground. The same God who brought Israel into the land still keeps His word to every believer who trusts Him.

The Living Bible puts Balaam’s unwilling confession this way: God is not a man that He should lie, nor a son of man that He should change His mind. Has He said, and will He not do it? Has He spoken, and will He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19). Human promises break under pressure, time, or selfishness. God’s promises rest on His unchanging character. “He who promised is faithful” (Hebrews 10:23).

That is why the waiting saint is never finally disappointed.

Waiting is not idle wishing. It is active trust. “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31, TLB).

The delay is often the classroom.

Abraham waited decades for Isaac.

Joseph waited in prison.

David waited in caves.

Each discovered that God’s calendar is perfect. “The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul that seeks Him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the Lord” (Lamentations 3:25-26).

The greatest promise has already been kept: “God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

Every lesser promise—provision, guidance, strength, a future and a hope—flows from that finished work.

If God did not spare His own Son, how will He not also freely give us all things?

So hold fast. The vision is for an appointed time; though it tarry, wait for it, for it will surely come (Habakkuk 2:3).

Those who wait on the Lord will never be put to shame.

His promises cannot fail because He cannot fail.

Suggested hymn: “Standing on the Promises.”

Standing on the Promises — first stanza (R. Kelso Carter, 1886):

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring,

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

Standing on the promises of God.

AMEN!

Let us Praise Him Daily!

A good way to learn to Praise God is to memorize the first 6 Verses of Psalms 148:

1 Praise the Lord, O heavens! Praise Him from the skies!

²Praise Him, all His angels, all the armies of heaven.

³Praise Him, sun and moon and all you twinkling stars.

⁴Praise Him, skies above. Praise Him, vapors high above the clouds.

⁵Let everything He has made give praise to Him. For He issued His command, and they came into being;

^{6 H}e established them forever and forever. His orders will never be revoked.

PLEASE read the last 6 Chapters of Psalms: 145-150 so that you will learn how to Praise God like David did!

Chapter 12 in Proverbs for today: (SEPTEMBER 12 (MT) (ESV)

12 Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge,
    but he who hates reproof is stupid.
²A good man obtains favor from the Lord,
    but a man of evil devices he condemns.
³No one is established by wickedness,
    but the root of the righteous will never be moved.
⁴An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
    but she who brings shame is like rottenness in his bones.
⁵The thoughts of the righteous are just;
    the counsels of the wicked are deceitful.
⁶The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
    but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
⁷The wicked are overthrown and are no more,
    but the house of the righteous will stand.
⁸A man is commended according to his good sense,
    but one of twisted mind is despised.
⁹Better to be lowly and have a servant
    than to play the great man and lack bread.
¹⁰Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast,
    but the mercy of the wicked is cruel.
¹¹Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread,
    but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.
¹²Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers,
    but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
¹³An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,^[a]
    but the righteous escapes from trouble.
¹⁴From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good,
    and the work of a man’s hand comes back to him.
¹⁵The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,
    but a wise man listens to advice.
¹⁶The vexation of a fool is known at once,
    but the prudent ignores an insult.
¹⁷Whoever speaks^[b] the truth gives honest evidence,
    but a false witness utters deceit.
¹⁸There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts,
    but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
¹⁹Truthful lips endure forever,
    but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
²⁰Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil,
    but those who plan peace have joy.
²¹No ill befalls the righteous,
    but the wicked are filled with trouble.
²²Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
    but those who act faithfully are his delight.
²³A prudent man conceals knowledge,
    but the heart of fools proclaims folly.
²⁴The hand of the diligent will rule,
    while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
²⁵Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down,
    but a good word makes him glad.
²⁶One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor,^[c]
    but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
²⁷Whoever is slothful will not roast his game,
    but the diligent man will get precious wealth.^[d]
²⁸In the path of righteousness is life,
    and in its pathway there is no death.

CHAPTER 42 JEREMIAH for today: (SEPTEMBER 12 (LN) (ESV)

42 Then all the commanders of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near ²and said to Jeremiah the prophet, “Let our plea for mercy come before you, and pray to the Lord your God for us, for all this remnant—because we are left with but a few, as your eyes see us— ³that the Lord your God may show us the way we should go, and the thing that we should do.” ⁴Jeremiah the prophet said to them, “I have heard you. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your request, and whatever the Lord answers you I will tell you. I will keep nothing back from you.” ⁵Then they said to Jeremiah, “May the Lord be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act according to all the word with which the Lord your God sends you to us. ⁶Whether it is good or bad, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God to whom we are sending you, that it may be well with us when we obey the voice of the Lord our God.”

⁷At the end of ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah. ⁸Then he summoned Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces who were with him, and all the people from the least to the greatest, ⁹and said to them, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your plea for mercy before him: ¹⁰If you will remain in this land, then I will build you up and not pull you down; I will plant you, and not pluck you up; for I relent of the disaster that I did to you. ¹¹Do not fear the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid. Do not fear him, declares the Lord, for I am with you, to save you and to deliver you from his hand. ¹²I will grant you mercy, that he may have mercy on you and let you remain in your own land. ¹³But if you say, ‘We will not remain in this land,’ disobeying the voice of the Lord your God ¹⁴and saying, ‘No, we will go to the land of Egypt, where we shall not see war or hear the sound of the trumpet or be hungry for bread, and we will dwell there,’ ¹⁵then hear the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces to enter Egypt and go to live there, ¹⁶then the sword that you fear shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine of which you are afraid shall follow close after you to Egypt, and there you shall die. ¹⁷All the men who set their faces to go to Egypt to live there shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence. They shall have no remnant or survivor from the disaster that I will bring upon them.

¹⁸“For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: As my anger and my wrath were poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so my wrath will be poured out on you when you go to Egypt. You shall become an execration, a horror, a curse, and a taunt. You shall see this place no more. ¹⁹The Lord has said to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go to Egypt.’ Know for a certainty that I have warned you this day ²⁰that you have gone astray at the cost of your lives. For you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, ‘Pray for us to the Lord our God, and whatever the Lord our God says, declare to us and we will do it.’ ²¹And I have this day declared it to you, but you have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God in anything that he sent me to tell you. ²²Now therefore know for a certainty that you shall die by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence in the place where you desire to go to live.”

Revelation 15

for today: (SEPTEMBER 12 (NN) ESV)

15 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.

²And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands. ³And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying,

“Great and amazing are your deeds,
    O Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
    O King of the nations!^[a]
⁴Who will not fear, O Lord,
    and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
    All nations will come
    and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

⁵After this I looked, and the sanctuary of the tent^[b] of witness in heaven was opened, ⁶and out of the sanctuary came the seven angels with the seven plagues, clothed in pure, bright linen, with golden sashes around their chests. ⁷And one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever, ⁸and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.
