God will keep His word to you

Isaiah 46:11 KJV

We can all probably think of a time when we've been let down by someone. When people have failed to keep their promises to us. It hurts and we're disappointed. But when God promises something, He will fulfil it. Sometimes we've got to do something before His promises are fulfilled in our lives.

After Elijah's confrontation with Baal's prophets on Mount Carmel, he told King Ahab, 'Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain' (1 Kings 18:41 NIV). Ahab ate and drank, and Elijah fell on his face in prayer. It hadn't rained in three and a half years, but Elijah fulfilled God's instruction 'Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land' (1 Kings 18:1 NIV) and the desperately-needed rains came. Elijah practiced four simple steps that we can practice too:

1) Believe the promise.
2) Do what God is asking you to do.
3) Pray persistently, believing God will keep His Word.
4) Be patient.

Elijah sent his servant out seven times to look for signs of rain, never once doubting God's promise. On the seventh time the rains began. Those times that we need to fulfil conditions, talk to God and wait expectantly for His promise to come into our lives, are times that we can become closer with God. We learn to trust Him and become more aware of His timing and works in our lives. He will never let you down or disappoint you. He will honour His word to you. 'I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I have purposed it, I will also do it.'
