God Keeps His Promises

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”

Matthew 13:44


Ponder This

For a long time, Israel had been like a treasure buried in the field. The people had suffered unspeakable atrocities and persecution under Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, and even some who called themselves Christians. But I want to tell you that Jewish people are important to God. You could no more destroy the Jews than you could remove God from His throne.

God will keep His word to Israel. Jesus is going to come back for His peculiar treasure. There was a treasure chosen, a treasure covered, and a treasure hidden. But He’s coming back for His treasure one day. God kept His word to Abraham, He will keep His word to us, and He will keep His word to His chosen people of Israel.

  • Why is it important to be reminded of those who are different than us that are important to God?
  • What are some ways God has seen you through hard times? How has that impacted your relationship with Him?

Practice This

Pray for the Jewish people to come to know the Messiah—Jesus.

Real Truth Never Changes

Real truth never changes, and the truth about government is that it is God who ordains it, leaders who are responsible for it, and citizens who are accountable to it. The privilege of being called Americans comes with significant responsibilities—to God, to each other, and to the world.
