Many promises have been made to us by many people. Some have come true and others well. They just fade away like into the sunset. Hope is a good thing. We need it to face life as it is. Sometimes our hope is misplaced in people and things. It doesn’t mean that hope is a bad thing. It is just that we need to make better choices. God anointed David as king of Israel over everyone else. He was just a teenager. But God had promised him that he wouldn’t die until he had an heir. God promised David that from him would come the Messiah of Israel. After he had killed Goliath, King Saul eventually made David his general. All the men of Israel trusted David because God was with him and he was fearless in battle. He would lead them into battle from the front. The scripture says that David ran into the middle of the battle and fought his way out. The people became to sing songs about David. The song would say that he would run through a troop and leap over a wall. The song also said that David would kill his 10,000’s and Saul his 1000’s. That is when Saul knew that David was the next king and tried to kill David. But David lived to a ripe old age and went home in peace. All because of the promises of God. You see the promises of God are yea and amen. It is that they are true and everlasting. Jesus is one of God’s promises. If you will be still and listen, you will hear God calling us home. And all we have to do is answer Him. joyeux Noël.
