You are Promise Keeper.

 You Are the Promise Keeper

A Reflection on 2 Corinthians 1:20 and Joshua 21:45

You are the promise keeper—not one word has failed,

Not one vow broken, not one hope derailed.

Every covenant You made, from Abraham to David’s throne,

Has found its “Yes” and “Amen” in the coming of Your Son.

For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. (2 Corinthians 1:20)

You promised to never leave—and You have stayed.

You promised to provide—and the bill is paid.

You promised peace—and still the storm obeys.

You promised life—and death has lost its sway.

The seed of Abraham became a multitude.

The land of Canaan was given, though the giants stood.

The son of David reigns upon the throne forever,

And not one jot or tittle shall pass—no, not ever.

Not one word has failed of all the good promises He gave. (1 Kings 8:56, paraphrased)

In a world of broken oaths and shifting sand,

Your promises are bedrock, built at Your command.

I do not trust my feelings, nor the changing of the tide.

I trust the One who swore on His own name, and will not hide.

So I rest in every promise—for today, for all my years.

For the wiping of my tears, the calming of my fears.

You are not a man that You should lie; You are the faithful King.

You are the promise keeper. To You, my heart will cling.

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. (Hebrews 10:23)

Amen.
