A Promise

Genesis 9: 15 And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.
Have you ever made a promise to someone? Have you kept it? I made a promise to my wife that I will love and cherish her until death do we part. I have made a promise for other things as well. Many of those things I wonder if I have truly kept. Do I always love and cherish my wife?  There are times that we have an argument and I have to will myself to love her. There are times in all of our lives that this has happened. The unique thing about God is that He always keeps is promises. Sure, there are times when there are floods, but God has not flooded the earth again. This was one of the first promises God made to man. This is a promise that He has never broken. I wonder if we look at our lives and we think back at all of the promises that we have made to God, how many of them will we have broken. Today, think of all God has done for us and the promises that he continues to keep, and think of what you can do for Him.

About Me

I am a former soldier in the United States Army. I have deployed to Afghanistan once and to Iraq twice. I feel that I have been called by God to serve Him where I am and to do it joyfully. This can be hard at times. This blog is not about where the Army has taken me but what I read in Scripture and where God is taking me along my spiritual journey. I hope that you will glean information from what I write and will be blessed as God blesses me.
