A promise kept

The promises in the Bible are more than just words in a book. They have the power of God’s Word, divine Truth, supporting them. Because they are supported by divine law, they offer a basis from which to reason spiritually and trust that Truth is eternal, ever present, and that we can expect the fulfillment of God’s promises. 

One of my favorite promises comes from Christ Jesus: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33). 

I remember when I saw this promise realized in my own experience. I had moved out to San Francisco six months after graduating from college. It was kind of on a whim. I had no plan, and the money I had was a loan. But when the money ran low and my loan was close to zero, I knew I needed a job and fast. I was hunting and hunting, but kept coming up short.
