many people say that promises are made to be broken.. . can't blame them.. .people are people.. . some people just find it hard to keep their promises.. . even I.. .sometimes I find it hard to believe that things will come true just as He promised.. . sometimes when I come to God in prayer, yes, I do tell Him that He promised this.. .and that.. .but sometimes my heart no longer have the strength to believe.. . until I realized just this morning that indeed Jesus never fails.. .
when I no longer know what to read in the Bible, I always start with Genesis (well of course, it's the first book, you know.. .haha!) and every time I start to read it again, the impact of His Words are no longer the same.. .it's different every time! (so sweet!) and so this morning, as I was reading.. . I was just fascinated at how God kept His promise to a man.. . and because of that we're still alive today.. .
i believe you're familiar with the story of Noah (the guy who built an ark) yeah.. . we're all familiar with that.. . God found Him righteous before Him in his generation.. . and so, He spared Noah and his family.. .and God promised never to destroy His creation ever again.. . *_*
that line struck me.. . was there a time wherein you felt so so bad about yourself.. .? you feel like you're worthless or you just can't do anything.. .? you've been so bad and you broke His heart lots of times.. .? you feel like you're the worst person ever lived.. .? yet you're still here.. .
another view.. .try to look at the world.. . the people are being immoral (and worst, they no longer feel that it's wrong.. .) doing foolish stuffs.. . getting involved in ungodly things.. . and you know what? in just a snap of His finger, He could've ruined us all.. .
but He didn't.. . He doesn't want to.. .He won't.. .in fact, He even gave His Son for us to live.. . and I asked Him, why Lord? even if this world breaks Your heart, You're not destroying it like what happened in the time of Noah.. .?
and the answer is because He had a covenant with Noah.. . He promised never to destroy this His creation again.. . because He said so.. .
and my heart just melted.. . that's one promise He kept for more than 2000 years.. . then here I am doubting that He'll fulfill His promises to me.. . shame on me.. . I was encouraged all the more to believe that what He said will come true.. . because He loves me.. .and He is indeed a promise-keeping God.. .
when God tells you He will bless you, just believe.. .when He said He knows the plans He has for you, just believe.. . when all else fails, believe that He is mighty to save!
Keep the faith!
You're still here.. .alive and breathing.. . (even if you've broken His heart many times.. .)
for the very reason that He loves you.. . because He promised never to destroy you.. .

Does that give you a reason to doubt His existence?
