The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
2 Peter 3:9
“God, I promise—if You help me beat this charge, I’ll never commit another crime.”
“Lord, get me through this hangover, and I swear I’ll never drink again.”
“God, if You save me from this overdose, I’ll change my life. I’ll get clean. I promise.”
How many promises have we made to God?
And how many of those promises have we actually kept?
In moments of desperation, we cry out to God and make vows we fully intend to keep in that moment. But when the crisis passes and comfort returns, conviction fades. “Just one more time.” “I’ll start tomorrow.” “God understands.” These are not accidents—they are decisions.
God is not like us. He does not delay, forget, or make excuses. Scripture is clear: God keeps every promise. His patience is not permission. His mercy is not approval. His grace is not a license to return to what He already delivered us from.
A promise is a two-way commitment. We call on God when our lives are falling apart, yet when things stabilize, we are quick to take the credit. We forget the prayers we prayed, the tears we cried, and the promises we made when we had nothing left.
Take inventory. Remember every promise you made to God—and remember every time He came through anyway. Stop offering empty words and delayed obedience. Repentance is not regret; it is a change of direction.
God has been faithful. He will remain faithful.
The question is not whether God will keep His promise.
The question is whether you will keep yours.
Daily Challenge
STOP MAKING EMERGENCY PROMISES—START PRACTICING DAILY OBEDIENCE.
Today, identify one promise you have repeatedly made to God. Write it down. Then take one concrete action that proves you are serious about honoring it. Obedience is not proven by words—it is revealed by consistency.
Daily Prayer
Heavenly Father, I have made empty promises in the past. I have come to You in moments of desperation and spoken words I did not fully live out. Forgive me, Lord. Help me to stop offering You promises made in crisis and instead walk in obedience daily. Thank You for Your patience, Your mercy, and for always keeping Your promises, even when I have failed. I love You, Jesus, and I give You all glory, honor, and praise. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
God Bless! 🙏🏿✌🏿💙💪🏿
