Isaiah 51:1-6.           

Forever and never. Phrases I have heard from my nine-year-old on occasion: “We have been here forever”; “I never get to do anything fun”; “That will take forever”; and, “I never do that.”

My son is not the only one throwing around never and forever without really understanding how long that is or what it means. You may have heard promises like these: “I will never leave you” or “I will love you forever.” People often fail us.

The verses today remind us that God not only understands how long forever is, but He can also back up the claim to never fail. God is the only one who can promise forever and never and deliver on that promise. He has proven repeatedly throughout all of history that He always delivers on His promises. His love and salvation will last forever and never fail.

Today, whatever you are facing, know that God’s promises for you will never fail. His love for you will last forever. God sent His Son so that those who believe follow Him can live for eternity in Heaven.
