Promises Kept

Today I read Genesis 10:21-12:7 and Matthew 6:13-7:8. My favorite verses are:

Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

God promised blessings to Abraham based on his obedience in following where the Lord led him. Jesus told His followers to seek the kingdom of God before anything else. When we do, God is faithful to meet our needs—add things to us. It is so good to know that God keeps his promises and blesses us when we obey his will for our lives. By seeing examples in the Old Testament of promises made and kept by God, we have the assurance that He will continue to be faithful in keeping His promises to us today. Just remember to seek Him first!
