2 Kings 8:7 - 9:13 Promise Keeper

by fol CHURCH on October 16, 2020

“Nevertheless, for the sake of his servant David, the Lord was not willing to destroy Judah. He had promised to maintain a lamp for David and his descendants forever.”

(2 Kings 8:19)

In the midst of chaos and death, God still honours His promises. Even though Israel and Judah failed Him miserably and His judgement could have wiped them all out, God keeps His promise of protection and grace for David’s descendants. And while He, the righteous judge, avenges Ahab’s atrocities against the prophets, Naboth (the man whose acre Ahab took) and Himself, He “postponed” the nationwide judgement to give His people the opportunity to repent and change their ways. 

God is with us today and He still keeps His promises. The ones we can find in the gospel as well as the ones that He may have spoken directly into your life. Think about God’s promises today and ground yourself in them.

Lord, thank you for the promises you declare over my life. Thank you for your trustworthiness. Please show me where I need to repent. Fill me with your Spirit and remind me where I can trust you more than yesterday and why. Show me what you want me to do today. Amen.
