God of Promise – Wisdom Unplugged

Wisdom - the final frontier to true knowledge. Welcome to Wisdom-Trek! Where our mission is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend, I am Guthrie Chamberlain, your captain on our journey to increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. Thank you for joining us today as we explore wisdom on our 2nd millennium of podcasts. This is Day 1425 of our Trek, and it is time for our 3-minute mini trek called Wisdom Unplugged. This short nugget of wisdom includes an inspirational quote with a little bit of additional content for today’s trek. Consider this your vitamin supplement of wisdom for today. So let’s jump right in with today’s nugget:

Today’s quote is from  Colin Urquhart, and it is:  God is the God of promise. He keeps His word, even when that seems impossible; even when the circumstances seem to point to the opposite.     

God of Promise

God is the creator and essence of truth. Since all truth comes from God, there is no truth outside of God. Within God’s Word, He has shared with us His completed revelation to humankind.  This revelation contains many promises, some conditional, many unconditional. It is impossible for God to break the promises that He has given to us. If a promise is conditional, then we choose whether we desire to follow those conditions, so it is we who break the covenant. If His promise is unconditional, there is nothing we can do that would permit God to reverse that promise. God cannot go against His Word. We can cling to His promises, even when they seem impossible. We can rest in His promises, even when all the circumstances which surround us seem contrary to that promise. So regardless of your current situation, circumstance, or lot in life, God’s promises will remain true.  Even when we are in the midst of chaos and hardship, none of God’s promises are compromised. Even during the most difficult of circumstances, we can cling to God’s Word as we are reminded in James 1:12-18 God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward, they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him. And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.  So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters.  Whatever is good and perfect is a gift coming down to us from God our Father, who created all the lights in the heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.  He chose to give birth to us by giving us his true word. And we, out of all creation, became his prized possession.

That’s a wrap for today’s Wisdom Unplugged quote.
