God Can't Lie

"God is not a man, that He should lie, and He doesn’t change His mind like humans do! Has he ever promised without doing what He has said, or spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?" Numbers 23:19 (NLT)
When God makes a promise, we can be sure that He will keep it. If history has taught us anything, it is that we can trust and rely on God in all circumstances, knowing that He will fulfill the promises He has made. The people of Israel learned this thousands of years ago, when they were miraculously led out of slavery after being held captive for hundreds of years, and then led by God through the wilderness into the prosperous land He had promised them. Joshua 21:45 says:"Every single good promise that the LORD had given us has come true.”
Time and time again God has proven His endless power to help those who trust in Him. So whatever you may be facing in life, know that the words and promises of blessing, healing, and prosperity of God are unwavering, and that He will do what He has said.
“Every word of God proves true.” Proverbs 30:5

God wil Make it Up to You

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Matthew 5:4

Sometimes we go through stages in our lives when we feel sorrow for certain losses we’ve experienced—jobs we didn’t get, relationships that didn’t work out, or loved ones that left us. It’s not uncommon for us to get feelings as to “why” God would allow such things to happen—but there is a reason for it, and we don’t need to always understand “why,” but instead  know that when we trust in the promises God has made to us, in all circumstances, He can do amazing things. The Bible tells us that not a single one of our tears goes unnoticed by God (Psalm 56:8), and that "those who plant in tears will reap harvests of joy" (Psalm 126:5).

You can be sure that every pain and loss you’ve experienced, God will make it up to you if you keep trusting in Him, and the promises and blessings He has in store for you.

Today, God wants you to know this specific promise He has made to you: In Zechariah 9:12 He says, “I promise this very day that I will repay two blessings for each of your troubles.”
