Promises, promises.

As is only to be expected in the run-up to a General Election, the airwaves and newspapers are becoming bogged down with the promises of the various political parties as thet endeavour to gain the support of the electorate. Sadly, past experience shows that, once elected, most politicians disappear from public view - although the new lot will, al least, be denied the exorbitant expenses that so many of the last lot abused in such a cavalier fashion!

Of course, as Someone said - admittedly, in a different context - many years ago: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." (John 8:7). Not one of us can, in all honesty, claim to have faithfully kept every promise that we have ever made! We may sometimes have a valid reason for breaking our word, but we don't always keep it.

That's part of the wonder of Almighty God. He keeps every promise that He makes - whether it is a promise of blessing, or of judgement! He's a faithful God, and I commend Him to all who have not yet submitted their lives to Him in repentance and obedience. Unlike the majority of politicians, He'll never let you down!
