May 28 - Jesus and His Promises

A promise is only as good as the

one who made it and his ability to

stand behind it. God never lies

and can do all things. When God

makes a promise, you can depend

upon Him to keep it. God keeps

His promises.

A Look Ahead

REHAB

Christians are often times filled with doubt

and guilt, deriving mostly from a world that wants to

revel in the past.

As a child of God, we have the blessing of

God’s wonderful promise of change. We will look at

ways in which God will help “rehab” our lives from

the dreaded past to the brightest future. God can and

will change us from the inside out!

One of the favorite expressions of many Ameri-

cans is, “It’s just my luck.” This phrase is often used

when an individual is incensed by an unpleasant hap-

pening. Sometimes we even say it in thoughtless con-

versation. The reasons for uttering this expression are

endless. For example:

“It’s just my luck…..”

For me to fall and break my leg.

For me to get run over by a car or truck.

For my car not to start.

For all my appliances to break down at the same

time.

For the roof to cave in.

For my son or daughter to get kicked out of school.

For the barber to cut my face with his sharp razor.

For my bank to go broke.

For my stocks and bonds to go belly up.

For my dog to die.

Folks who use such negative language, are gen-

erally joking when they say such things. However,

even though they may be joking, they are conveying to

other people an ungrateful disposition or mindset called

“murmuring” (griping and complaining). Paul cautions

us not to possess this mindset (1 Corinthians 10:9-10;

cf. Exodus 15:24; Exodus 16:1-2; Exodus 17:3; Num-

bers 14:2; Numbers 16:41).

The individual who says, “It’s just my luck,” is

conveying to others the idea that he never gets any

breaks in life — that the only luck he ever receives is

bad luck.

Let’s ask ourselves the following questions:

“Is it bad luck to live in the most prosperous nation

that has ever existed on earth?”

“Is it bad luck to have money in the bank, no matter

how small an amount it is?”

“Is it bad luck to have a roof over our head?”

“Is it bad luck to have two or more vehicles in our

driveway?”

“Is it bad luck to have three square meals a day?”

“Is it bad luck to have a reasonable amount of good

health?”

“Is it bad luck to have clothes for all four seasons?”

“Is it bad luck to have all of the latest and greatest

electronic gadgets?”

And the most important question of all:

“Is it bad luck to have been blessed by circum-

stances where we could learn about the saving gos-

pel of our Savior without fear of imprisonment or

loss of life, when over a billion of earth’s people

have never heard the gospel?”

Brethren and friends, the next time we are ready

to curse our adverse “luck,” let’s pause long enough to

meditate upon the following inspired thoughts, and

then express our thanks to the God of heaven for what

He has provided us (James 1:17; cf. Acts 14:17; Acts

17:25,28; 2 Peter 1:2-3):

“Let your conduct be without covetousness, and be

content with such things as you have. For He

Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor for-

sake you’ ” (Hebrews 13:5).

“having food and clothing, with these we shall be

content” (1 Timothy 6:8).

“in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God

in Christ Jesus for you” (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
