Ill call you back tomorrow, I promise! my friend said to me last week. And I havent heard from her since. Did she keep her promise?Ill e-mail you first thing Monday morning, I promise. I said to a friend this past weekend. But then on Monday, I realized, I didnt have his e-mail address, and I COULDNT send him a letter. Did I keep MY promise? 上星期, 我的朋友对我说:明天我会打电话给你, 我保证!但是她到现在还没有打来。那么她是不是说话不算数。上个周末, 我对我的一个朋友说:我保证, 星期一早上第一件事就是发电子邮件给你。但是星期一的时候我才发现, 我没有他的地址, 所以没法发电子邮件给他。那么我是不是说话不算数呢? How many of you have been disappointed by someone who made promises, but then was not faithful to keep them?Oh, I see all of your hands going up! What about God?Can we depend on Him?The Bible says in I Thessalonians 5:24, Faithful is he who calls you who also will do it. 你们多少人曾经失望过, 就是因为别人说话不算数, 说了, 可又不去做。我想所有的人都有这样的经历。那么神呢?我们能信任他吗?圣经在帖撒罗尼迦前书第5章24节说:那召你们的本是信实的, 他必成就这事。 Who is the he in this verse?Its our true and living God, isnt it! And the you is YOU!! Lets look at the verse this way:The same God Who calls you to do something will be faithful to help you do it! Faithful means you can depend on God, You can trust Him to do what He says He will do. But what does God call you to do? |
