What other scriptures affirm God's faithfulness to His promises? Rooted in 2 Samuel 7:25 “ And now, O LORD God, fulfill forever the promise You have made to Your servant and to his house. Do as You have promised.” (2 Samuel 7:25) David prays with confidence because he knows God never reneges on His word. The rest of Scripture echoes that same confidence. Promises Fulfilled in Israel’s History • Joshua 21:45 – “Not one of all the LORD’s good promises to the house of Israel failed; everything was fulfilled.” • Joshua 23:14 – “You know with all your heart and soul that not one of all the good promises the LORD your God made to you has failed. Everything was fulfilled for you; not one promise has failed.” • 1 Kings 8:56 – “Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel according to all that He promised. Not one word has failed of all His good promises, which He spoke through His servant Moses.” • Nehemiah 9:32 – “Now therefore, our God—the great God, mighty and awesome, who keeps His covenant of loving devotion—do not let all this hardship seem insignificant to You…” Covenant Faithfulness Remembered in the Psalms • Psalm 89:34 – “I will not violate My covenant or alter the utterance of My lips.” • Psalm 105:8-10 – “He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—the covenant He made with Abraham, the oath He swore to Isaac. He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.” • Lamentations 3:22-23 – “Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness!” Prophets Who Reassure God’s People • Isaiah 46:11 – “Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, and I will surely do it.” • Isaiah 55:10-11 – “So My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.” • Jeremiah 1:12 – “‘You have observed correctly,’ said the LORD, ‘for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.’” • Ezekiel 12:25 – “For I, the LORD, will speak whatever word I speak, and it will be fulfilled without delay.” New-Covenant Confirmation in Christ • Romans 4:21 – “[Abraham was] fully persuaded that God was able to do what He had promised.” • 2 Corinthians 1:20 – “For all the promises of God are ‘Yes’ in Christ. And so through Him, our ‘Amen’ is spoken to the glory of God.” • 1 Thessalonians 5:24 – “The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.” • Hebrews 10:23 – “Let us hold resolutely to the hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful.” • 2 Peter 3:9 – “The Lord is not slow to fulfill His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you…” • Revelation 19:11 – “Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True…” Living Confidence Today • What God promises, He performs—every time, without fail. • Historical record, poetic worship, prophetic oracle, apostolic teaching, and future vision all agree: God’s faithfulness is absolute. • The same Lord who kept covenant with David stands behind every promise made to us in Christ. Trust, rest, and walk forward in the unshakeable certainty that He will “do as He has promised.” |
