Happy Monday Everyone!!! 😀
Beloved, one of the things that really irritate me is worthless unfulfilled promises. Many times, in life we get caught up in our fast-paced daily lives that we occasionally don’t recognize the promises we make to other people. Here are some classics: *if you need anything let me know, *I’ll call you, or *you’ll get the next open position. We need to be careful when making idle promises. In other words, presenting hope that’s not worth the words coming out our mouth, unkept possibilities that only frustrate the hopeful. Many people are defenseless to these promises.
Children look up to adults and we teach them to listen to their parents, teachers, etc., so when we break a promise to a child it’s hard for them to understand. If we aren’t careful our words become worthless. The same goes for our elderly. Many of them are alone or lonely, they depend on others a lot, and when someone makes a promise of running an errand or a much-promised visit that never materializes, then depression can easily set in. The same goes for an employee who is depending on the increase. The employee does all they’ve been asked, and the supervisor promises the employee a raise or an elevated position that never materializes. We need to be more reliable and mindful of what we’re saying. The Bible is full of God’s promises that we can depend on. They’re rooted in His unchanging character and love for us. We should be Christlike and become more aware of worthless unfulfilled promises that could hurt or disturb others that depend on us.
Beloved, the last time I checked we serve an on-time God and His Word has never failed us. 😀
Let Us Pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, this morning I ask that You help us to be more aware of the promises we make to You and others. Help us to deliver on them just like Your promises in the Bible that never fail us.
In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Beloved, life is very short. It comes and goes like an unannounced gust of wind. None of us know the hour or day when that gust of wind will be permitted to enter our room and blow out our earthly light. So today, reach out and touch someone and tell them you love them, BECAUSE TELLING THEM LATER JUST MIGHT BE TOO LATE – I LOVE YOU ALL!!!
Have a brilliant Monday and a boundless joyful week. 😀
