God's Promise

 Here is a poem grounded in the eternal, unbreakable promises of God — a testament to His faithfulness when all else fails:

---

### **THE OATH THAT HOLDS THE STARS**  

**Genesis 8:22, Hebrews 6:13-20**  

When chaos gnaws the edges of your soul,  

And every earthly anchor starts to roll,  

When hope seems but a rumor, faint and thin —  

*Remember how the seasons enter in:*  

**"While earth remains,"** His vow stands like the dawn,  

**"Seedtime, harvest, cold and heat — go on."**  

No flood can breach this covenant He made —  

His bow still bends where judgment once was laid.  

---

When deserts choke the gardens of your prayer,  

And heaven’s face feels silent, stark, and bare,  

When faith is just a flicker in the night —  

*Recall the stars that burned for Abraham’s sight:*  

**"Count them, if you can."** His oath took flight,  

Though age had cracked his body, sealed his night.  

**God swore by Self** — no higher name to give —  

So Abraham *believed*, and dared to live.  

*(Genesis 15:5-6, Hebrews 6:13)*  

---

When guilt screams louder than redemption’s song,  

And shame insists you don’t to God belong —  

*Hear the scarred Hands that split your prison bars:*  

**"I have engraved you on the palms that bear the stars."**  

Zion herself might fade from mortal gaze,  

**But you? I will remember — all your days.**  

Could ink erase the wounds Love chose to own?  

Your name’s cut deep into the Living Stone.  

*(Isaiah 49:15-16)*  

---

When death’s cold fingers brush your trembling skin,  

And shadows whisper, *"This is where hope ends"* —  

*Know this: the tomb is where His vow begins:*  

**"Because I live — you too will rise again."**  

The grave’s dark curtain tore from top to base —  

**His yes outshouts the void’s last hiding place.**  

No borrowed light — He *is* the Resurrection Sun —  

Death kneels, undone. The victory’s *won*.  

*(John 14:19, 1 Corinthians 15:55-57)*  

---

When you have wept till language finds no sound,  

And dread’s dark tide pulls all your undergound —  

*Lean hard upon the Priest who knows your frame:*  

**"Never will I leave you. Always, the same —  

Yesterday, today, forever near,  

Drowning your chaos in My perfect cheer."**  

No "if," no "maybe" — only **"I AM HERE."**  

*(Hebrews 13:5-8, Matthew 28:20)*  

---

So plant your feet on promises concrete:  

**The God who bled for you cannot retreat.**  

Let hell roar lies — let kingdoms rise and fall —  

**His oath sustains the universe and all.**  

Not one word fails, not one grace disappears —  

**His blood-sealed vows outlast a thousand years.**  

The dawn *will* break. The tempest *will* cease.  

Hold fast, frail heart: His covenant is peace.  

*(Isaiah 54:10, Joshua 23:14)*  

---

**"You swore — You bleed — You stay.  

I’m held.  

I’m kept.  

I’m Yours.  

Amen."**

### **SCRIPTURAL ANCHORS**  

1. **Genesis 8:22** — God’s promise of earth’s rhythms.  

2. **Hebrews 6:13-20** — God’s unchangeable oath sworn by Himself.  

3. **Isaiah 49:15-16** — *"I will not forget you… engraved on My hands."*  

4. **John 14:19** — *"Because I live, you also will live."*  

5. **Hebrews 13:5-6** — *"Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you."*  

6. **Isaiah 54:10** — *"My unfailing love for you will not be shaken."*  

He does not promise *ease* — but He vows *presence*. He does not vow no storms — but He swears *anchors*. His Word is His bond. His scars are His signature. Rest here. 🔥
