Promises

And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and now all the promises God gave to him belong to you. Galatians 3:29 NLT

According to the Word of God, we're children of Abraham - because of the truth found in what Paul writes in verse 28: "For you are all Christians - you are one in Christ Jesus." What a wonderful piece of knowledge we can hold on to in that! Sometimes we can feel as though we're just a number, lost in the sea of endless faces. Sometimes we can feel as though there is nothing special about us at all, and we'll never end up being significant. But the Truth of God's Word is that we are heirs to a divine promise given by God thousands of years ago. What's more, we are known by name (see John 10:3) and we don't go unnoticed by the Almighty Himself!

God has promised something to you and me - something in this lifetime we have on earth as well as something beyond our mortal life. God's a promise-keeper. He's never broken His promises - ever!

We all know life can be difficult and it can get monotonous. But we need to live our lives as if we have something to look forward to instead of living our lives like it's just another day at the salt mines. We have a promise from God!
