Today's short thoughts will focus on the encouragement found in Hebrews 6:13-14 where the author wrote, "For when God made the promise to Abraham, since He could swear by no one greater, He swore by Himself saying, I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply you."
Of course, these words are only an encouragement if you believe them, if you know the One who has no one greater than He. What gave Abraham his assurance was that God had given him His word. He had received a promise from the creator and sustainer of all things. As we look back we are able to see that the promises were fulfilled, but through the eyes of faith, the moment they were made, they were sure to come to pass.
Jesus promised to send a Helper and the Helper was sent. Jesus promised that He would prepare a place for us and He has. We have a promise regarding His return and His receiving us unto Himself. It will happen! As Paul described him to the Galatians, let us be people of faith, like "Abraham, the believer", living by faith in the promises we have from the One who can swear by no one greater than Himself.
