Christian Devotional-Stories and Bible verses about the presence of God in our lives

Promises Broken

He promised…

He looked into her eyes and said, “I will”.

She promised…

She looked into his eyes and Promisessaid, “I will”.

He kissed the bride and the bride kissed him…

That was a few years ago…

Today he sat in his car by the side of the road…

So shaken he couldn’t drive…

The lawyer had looked him in the eyes and said, “Sign here.”

“Divorce Decree” read the title on the top of the page…

Now he sat in his car on the shoulder of the road and cried…

A large truck sped by, shaking the ground beneath the car…

Where could he turn?

Standing, standing,

Standing on the promises of Christ my Savior;

Standing, standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

They had been in school when they married…

They were the first of all their friends to marry…

“It’s true love!” everyone told them.

He believed it…

She believed it…

They believed their promises to be together forever…

Whose promises could he believe now?

Standing on the promises that cannot fail

Who could he trust in the midst of his pain and confusion?

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,

by the living Word of God I shall prevail,

standing on the promises of God.

He needed God…

Nobody in this world kept their promises…

Was God any different?

…I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

What about all the times he had been unfaithful to God?

If we are faithless, he remains faithful— for he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:13

He needed to know…

Was God with him now?

Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you ~ Hebrews 13:5

Standing, standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.
