September 26日 Promise Keeper －Hebrew 6：13-20

When couples commit their vows in the wedding ceremony, there may be mixed feelings in what they promised. Some would say it casually and some with a burdened heart. Whatever the promise they said, the congregation would heartfully ask God to bless them from now on.

But God, who promised to bless the nations through Abraham’s offspring has no such limitations. To challenge his Jewish Christian audience to perseverance and patience to continue in their faith in Jesus, the writer of Hebrews recalled God’s promises to Abraham, the patriarch’s patient waiting, and the fulfillment of what had been promised. Abraham and Sarah were no barrier to the fulfillment of God’s promise to give Abraham “many descendants.”

When we are challenged to trust God and struggle to keep our commitments, to fulfill the pledges and vows. In (2 Corinthians 12:9) God promises to help us: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” For forty some years God has helped me commit to my vows. God, thank You for being faithful in Your commitments to me. Help me to be faithful in my commitments to You and others.
