Forever

He keeps every promise forever.
Psalm 146:6b NLT

I don’t know that I’ve ever read that sentence before in the New Living Translation of the Bible. I thought I had, but if I did, I must have had blinders on. Talk about piercing my soul…

Have you ever fully contemplated ‘forever’? Just forever by itself, nothing attached to it. I’ve had a hard time envisioning it. When I was a little girl I fully believed in ‘Happily Ever After.’ That was my version of forever. I just knew someday my prince would come and rescue me and that’s how we would live…forever. I dreamed about it. Hoped for it. Prayed for it…

He keeps every promise forever.
Forever is not about NOT making any promises in order to be able to say we never break promises. That’s a falsehood.

He keeps every promise forever.
The Truth is that forever is much more than just never-ending time. Forever is commitment. Forever is trust, safety, provision.

Forever is making promises AND keeping them.

Why? Because God doesn’t just love us - He IS love.

And when the King of all kings comes for us, we will ride away with Him, and we’re going to live Happily Ever After. Happily Ever After what? This. In John 16:33 (NLT), Jesus says, Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world. 

He promised… And He keeps every promise forever. Yes, He does…

Prayer:

Father,
              We will give thanks to You, Lord, for You are good!
According to Your Word, Your faithful love endures forever.
You remember us in our weakness. Your faithful love endures forever.
You saved us from our enemies. Your faithful love endures forever.
You give food to every living thing. Your faithful love endures forever.
We will give thanks to the God of heaven. Your faithful love endures forever. 

Help us to understand Your forever love. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen
