God is a promise keeper. He has made promises. There are promises in his word. There are promises all throughout scripture. But there are also promises that He has made for you. There are things that He has shown you, visions that He has given you, dreams that He has placed in your heart.
These things are of the Lord. These things are meant to inspire hope, not to demoralize you and not to make you feel like you’re not doing enough, but to remind you that there is more than this moment. There is more than this season. God has more for you. If you are alive and breathing, there is more that He has in store for you.
But it’s easy to forget that when we look at the issues of life, the weight of the day, the pressures and the responsibilities, it’s easy to allow the promises to go by the wayside, to be placed on the back burner, and to be put on the proverbial shelf. We have seen in scripture where the Lord has turned around situations with mighty Women of God who cried out, and the Lord answered. They sought solutions and the Lord provided.
Many who were on the last possible step. They were at the end of themselves. They had done all that they could do.
The woman at the well.
The woman with the two sons in 2 Kings 4.
The woman who was making the last piece of cake that she had. She had sticks, and she was going to wrap them together, and she was going to make bread for her and her son, and then they were going to die (1 Kings 17:8-16 KJV).
The Lord has given us example after example of how He keeps his promises even when it looks like the end. He is faithful. Yes, life can get overwhelming, but He is faithful. Yes, the principalities and the dark forces are at work, but God is faithful. Our job is to hold fast to the confession of our faith, for he is faithful who promised.
That’s what it tells us in Hebrews 10:23: that the Lord is faithful, that he is able, and that we can hold fast to the promises, hold fast to the promise maker, the promise keeper. There’s not one thing He’s ever said that he has not done. There is not one story in scripture where the Lord has failed, and just because they wrote revelations doesn’t mean he stopped being God.
Yes, the book may be the book, but every day, with your life, He is writing a new story, a story of victory. We’re shown in scripture that God has called us to be walking epistles to be read of men (2 Corinthians 3:2-4 KJV). So yes, God is still being God. God is still writing out the stories. He’s writing out the scenes. He’s turning the tables, but we can’t remain in the ashes.
We can’t remain stagnant. We can’t remain in old seasons and pray and hope that things change without truly believing. Without truly operating by faith. This is why the scripture tells us to hold fast. Hold fast to the promises. The scripture tells us that the Holy Spirit will bring back to our remembrance all of these things that the Lord spoke while he walked the earth (John 14:26 KJV).
This is the promise of God that you are not alone. That’s the first promise (that I am sharing tonight, not the first promise God made): that he would never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:8 KJV).
This is the promise of God that when you draw nigh to him that he will draw nigh to you (James 4:8 KJV).
This is the promise of God that if you hold fast to that crown that when the time comes when all of the earth will be tested that the Lord will remember you (Revelations 3:8-11 KJV).
So remember His promises. Remember the Lord. Remember what He has shown you and hold fast. Don’t stop believing. Don’t stop receiving. Don’t stop speaking life over yourself. Now is the season to go in, to tarry, to believe ever the more that God is faithful and that He is more than able.
Closing Devotional Prayer
Father, I thank you for the mighty woman of God. I thank you for this idea to do the nightlight devotional. Lighter, shorter, but God, I pray that it still carries your spirit. I pray that the mighty woman of God knows that you care for her, that you are here for her, God.
I thank you, Lord God, that as we close out this short devotional, I pray, God, that the mighty woman of God will remember that if there have been things that she forgot, that she would get her pen and paper out, God, and start writing out what you showed her. Start writing out the truth of the word. Start writing, God. Start flowing.
Start remembering in the name of Jesus that you are the Lord of the overflow. You are the God of our breakthrough. Lord, I thank you for being El Shaddai. Lord, you are more than able. I thank you, Lord, and I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
