NEVER
DISAPPOINTED

READ:
1 Kings 8:54-61

There has not failed
one word of all His
good promise.
__1 Kings 8:56

As an avid baseball fan, my favorite team is the Chicago Cubs. The interesting thing about being a Cubs fan is that the team has a way of letting us down. They have not won a World Series since 1908. And while they often have great promise at the beginning of the season, they usually disappoint their loyal fans in the end. One die-hard fan had it right when he said, "If they didn't disappoint us, they wouldn't be our Cubs!"

Thankfully, God is not like the Cubs! You can count on him. He will not disappoint you in the end. He always keeps His promises, and His Word provides comfort, hope, and wise advice that never fails.

When King Solomon dedicated the temple, he attested to the fact that God had not let His people down: "Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise" (1 Kings 8:56).

Thousands of years later, those words still ring true. And better yet, we are heirs of the greatest fulfilled promise of all time--Jesus! The longer you know Him, the more compelling He becomes.

So if you are looking for someone who won't disappoint you, look no further. Jesus never fails! __Joe Stowell

**************Today's Bible Reading __ 1 Kings 8:54-61************

54 And so it was, when
Solomon had finished
praying all this prayer and
supplication to the LORD,
that he arose from before
the altar of the LORD, from
kneeling on his knees with
his hands spread up to
heaven. 55 Then he stood
and blessed all the assembly
of Israel with a loud voice,
saying:

56 "Blessed be the LORD,
who has given rest to His
people Israel, according to
all that He promised. There
has not failed one word
of all His good promise,
which He promised through
his servant Moses. 57 May
the LORD our God be with
us, as he was with our
fathers. May He not leave
us nor forsake us, 58 that
He may incline our hearts
to himself, to walk in all
His ways, and to keep His
commandments and His
statutes and His judgments
which He commanded our
fathers. 59 And may these
words of mine, with which
I have made supplication
before the LORD, be near
the LORD our God day
and night, that He may
maintain the cause of His
servant and the cause of His
people Israel, as each day
may require, 60 that all the
peoples of the earth may
know that the LORD is God;
there is no other. 61 Let your
heart therefore be loyal to
the LORD our God, to walk
in His statutes and keep
His commandments, as at
this day."

Second Corinthians 1:20 tells us: "All the promises of god in [Christ]
are Yes, and in Him Amen." The promises of God are trustworthy
for all time and eternity. Despite life's disappointments, we should
realize that God sees from an eternal perspective and we see only a
limited view. __Dennis Fisher
