Does God play favorites? 🤔

Over the past two days, we have learned that God wants to commit Himself to us through His promises and that He ALWAYS keeps His word.

Today, I’d like to dwell on how we step into His promises.

First, let’s start with some good news: you cannot earn God’s promises.

There are no “prerequisites” or “access conditions” you have to meet to be worthy. God does not play favorites (Romans 2:11) and does not reject anyone who genuinely seeks Him (Psalms 51:17 and Hebrews 11:6).

However, while we don’t have to earn His promises, there are keys that help us step into them.

1. Faith

Sarah’s story is an excellent example of faith that led to promises fulfilled:

By faith, Sarah herself also received strength to conceive, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised. – Hebrews 11:11 NKJV

Faith pleases God (Hebrews 11:6) and will help you never lose sight of God’s promises. Faith will allow you to see the reward on the other side of the most difficult circumstances.

2. Patient endurance

Unfortunately, God’s promises usually don’t include a timeline. We need to trust that what He has spoken will come to pass in His perfect time. In the meantime, we must be patient.

And so, after Abraham had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. – Hebrews 6:15 NKJV

Friend, have you been waiting to see God’s promises unfold in your life? Be patient and keep the faith… His promises for you are nearer than you think!

Hey! You are a Chamatkar (= miracle)
