His part, Our Part

Scriptures:

1Kings 8:56

“Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses"

1Kings 8:61

And may your hearts be fully committed to the LORD our God, to live by his decrees and obey his commands, as at this time.”

Observation:

God is a certified promise keeper. Heaven and earth may fail, but His words will still remain. On the other hand, in every promises God has for us, we need to get our share done in order to fulfill that promise. Oops, Let me clarify one thing, God does not need us for Him to fulfill a promise. It's just that, He wants us to take part. A familiar phrase from preachers goes this way, In a hundred steps, God took the ninety nine steps and left a single step for us to take, unfortunately we usually miss that single step and worse we sometime blame God because of the unfulfilled promise

Application:

As God is faithfully doing His part, do your part as well. Claiming God's promise isn't just about waiting, it also requires an act for us to get it.

Prayer:

Lord you always keep your part in the bargain, but I always fail keeping mine. I need your grace Lord, Help me to reach a level that both of us is keeping our own part, but of course Lord, it will never be apart from your grace. Your faithfulness keeps me fall in love with You...
