FAITHFUL PROMISE-KEEPER

1 KINGS 8:24 (MSG)
You kept your word to David my father, your personal word. You did exactly what you promised—every detail. The proof is before us today!

Keep it up, GOD, O God of Israel! Continue to keep the promises you made to David my father


LUKE 1:68-69 (MSG)
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;
     he came and set his people free.
He set the power of salvation in the center of our lives,
     and in the very house of David his servant,
Just as he promised long ago...


SUMMARY SENTENCE
The arrival of Jesus shows us that God is a faithful promise-keeper.

PRAYER
Faithful God, we live in a world where promises are made to be broken but you are a person of your word. Forgive me for the times when I doubt that things can work out. Lead me back to Jesus who embodies your love and faithfulness. I'm going to live with your promised salvation at the center of my life. Amen.
