Roads Closed & Promises

by | Jul 18, 2021 | Quotes & Thoughts | 7 comments

“My words … will come true at their proper time.”  (Luke 1:20)

“What the Lord has said … will be accomplished!” (Luke 1:45)

“Matthew Henry said, ‘We can depend on God to fulfill His promise, even when all roads leading to it are closed.’ For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through Him the “Amen” [so be it] is spoken by us to the glory of God’ [2 Corinthians 1:20].”

(from Streams in the Desert by L. B. Cowman, July 1, page 257)

      I did as well. Between Matthew Henry and Streams, they both brought such a visual to mind.

    This is encouraging. God will keep His promises no matter what the circumstances look like.
