promises to hold on

Daniel 6:26-28, CJB
King Daryavesh wrote all the peoples, nations and languages living anywhere on earth: “Shalom rav! [Abundant peace!]  “I herewith issue a decree that everywhere in my kingdom, people are to tremble and be in awe of the God of Dani’el. “For he is the living God; he endures forever. His kingdom will never be destroyed; his rulership will last till the end. He saves, rescues, does signs and wonders both in heaven and on earth. He delivered Dani’el from the power of the lions.”

We're starting a new series this month looking at some of the promises of God. I'm so grateful the Father has made enduing promises that help us build our lives on his faithfulness. Today we look at his promise of a forever home.

We re-homed a dog some two years ago and in doing that became the owners (also servants!) of not one, not two, but three Newfies. Bonkers! The newest was a nine month old little girl who came from a family who just couldn’t keep her. So we gave her a forever home.

And these verses remind me that God is able to give us a forever home. When he rescues and saves us it is so we can spend eternity with him - the living God who endures forever, whose Kingdom will never be destroyed. And he also makes us into a sign and wonder to the world as he consistently delivers us. 

But unlike the people King Daryavesh writes to, we don’t have to tremble before the Lord. We get to call him Father. What a privilege. We have been rescued, saved, and given a forever home by the one who loves us most.  

What an amazing God we have!

Until next time.
