God has never promised to remove all our troubles, problems, and difficulties. In fact, sometimes I think the truly committed Christian is in conflict with the society around him more than any other person. Society is going in one direction, and the Christian is going in the opposite direction. This brings about friction and conflict. But God has promised, in the midst of trouble and conflict, a genuine peace, a sense of assurance and security through Jesus Christ.

We experience more broken promises in life than we do kept promises. When someone breaks a promise they've made to us, we feel disappointed and hurt. With each promise that is broken, we grow more wary of the next one, skeptical of its fulfillment. We become calloused and distrusting. Fortunately, we serve a God who is the ultimate promise maker and keeper. The Old Testament is a chronicle of promises, or covenants, God makes with his people Israel. He promises to lead them into the Promised Land. (Gen. 12:12) He promises that they will be his chosen people. (Ex. 19:5-6) He promises eternal rule to the house of David. (2 Sam. 7:12-17) And he promises to make a new and lasting covenant with Israel that will unite God with his wandering people for good. (Jer. 31:31-34) Along the way, he reminds Israel of his faithful nature, assuring them that he will keep his promises. Like it says in Deuteronomy, “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, to a thousand generations.” (Deut. 7:9) Faithful you areFaithful forever you will beFor all your promises are yes and amen God fulfilled every promise he made to the Israelites in the Old Testament, and through Jesus Christ he fulfilled the new and lasting covenant: “For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.” (2 Cor. 1:20) In Christ, the new covenant establishes us as the children of God, inheritors of the Kingdom, marked with a seal and given the gift of the Holy Spirit. This is the greatest promise ever made, and it's a promise that is already a done deal. Nothing can break it. The same God who was faithful to Abraham and Moses in the Old Testament is the God who remains faithful to us today through his son, Jesus. When every other promise made to us is broken on this earth, we can rest in the assurance that this one never will. Based on the song Yes And Amen by Chris Tomlin.
