God Always Keeps His Promises

There was a young man name James. James made straight A’s in school on his 1st report card. His mother promised him if he made straight A’s in school for the rest of the whole year that she would buy him something special. James looked forward to the end of the school year. He studied hard and did extra credit work so that he could maintain straight A’s in every class. He was focused because the thought of a reward was pleasing to his ears. Also James knew that his mother was trustworthy. She always kept her promises. After James last report card, his mother didn’t give him his something special right away. But, James was expecting his special something on the same day he gave his mother his last report card. He thought that was the deal even though he never said it out loud. James began to doubt and question why did he studied and worked so hard. A few days went by and James didn’t receive his gift. James began to think did he hear his mother correctly. James said, “Maybe my mother never said that. I am just tripping.” After a few weeks, James grew less interested in school because his mind got off focus. He was in summer school so that he could work a few hours in his last year of school. James’s mother didn’t forget, but she had a gift for him. She returned it back to the store because she thought that he deserved much more. James grew impatient. Little did he know that his gifts were on the way.  He never expected that his something special turned out to be numerous something special. God might have promise you something special. Don’t get discourage. Don’t lose the faith. You could be moments away from your showers of blessings. While you are expecting a blessing, God made you wait a little longer. God is preparing you for continually showers of blessings. So don’t lose focus, you must stay focused on God the whole time. Just know God always keeps all of his promises!

PRAYER

Lord prepare my mind for the blessings
Lord prepare my heart for the blessings
Lord prepare my thought process for the blessings
Lord prepare my spirit for blessings
As I wait on the blessings
Lord increase my faith
Lord don’t let me lose hope
Lord, help me to continue to stand on your word
Lord, help me to continue to stand on your promises
As your blessings overtake me
As your blessings continually rain down upon me
Lord for the rest of my existence
Lord, let me continue to focus on thee
In Jesus Name I pray
AMEN!

Hebrews 6:11-15
11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 that you do not become [a]sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.
13 For when God made a promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself, 14 saying, “Surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply you.” 15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.
