Have you ever felt that God broke a promise?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
God I thought your promises were yes and amen?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
God I thought you were not slack concerning your promises?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
God I do ALL I can to obey you, to worship you, to honor you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And the payback?<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A broken promise.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Blows that hit below the belt. Crushing events that are in directly violation against Your Word that I prayed in accordance with Your will.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So what do you do when the enemy’s darts penetrate your breastplate?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What happens when the arrows with their poisonous tips leech death into your marriage, into the lives of your children, into your self-esteem, your bank account, or your health?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I pray you DON\u2019T<\/strong> do like I did initially.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n My first response was to attack the ONE<\/strong> who would ensure my victory.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But isn\u2019t that human nature? To turn on the ONE you are closest to? I lashed out in hurt and anger. I told my loving, devoted ONE He was a liar. I told Him He was a promise breaker.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n As my flesh was having its tirade, my Spirit could not deny Truth. A song I had been listening to all week bombarded my thoughts. The song had me in its grip and wouldn’t let me go. The song says over and over, \u201cYou\u2019re a great God, you are great.\u201d This refrain was the weight that kept me anchored in Truth. It is so important to hide Truth in our hearts so that when we are faced with mountains too high to climb and valleys too deep to traverse, our hearts won\u2019t fail.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With my face in the carpet I cried a river of tears. I repented for speaking contrary to His Truth. I asked Him for eyes to see. I asked Him for the mind of Christ. I thanked Him for being a promise keeper. And while I still can\u2019t see the fulfillment of the promise, I thank Him that the promise still stands.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not one word has failed of all the good things that the LORD your God promised concerning you. All have come to pass for you; not one of them has failed.<\/em><\/p>\n
