Heaven and earth will pass away but My words will not pass away. Matthew 24:35
Do you know anyone, anyone at all who keeps every word they say? No? Neither do I! Each one of us will, even with best intent say something with a determined assurace that it will happen but then circumstances will change and so our word.
Jesus gives us insight and tells us not to swear by heaven or earth as we are not in charge of heaven or earth. He merely tells us to let our yes be yes and no be be no.
I am always amused, in American movies, especially, when something drastice is happening and the father promises the child that everything will be alright and that the father will not let anything bad happen to the child.
We are not able to control the weather, others or God. We have enough trouble controlling our own behaviour.
However, God is above all this and He promises and keeps His promises. I can trust that when He says something it will be done.
Our prayer must be 'may Your Kingdom come, Your willl be done.' His will is the only will I wait on. I trust Him. He is worthy of all praise and honour and glory, not me, not you.
As I wait on Him and put my trust in Him, all things work together for my good, all things!
