“‘We’ve heard promises time and time again, but the time for promises has passed. We now have no confidence in those making the promises.” Horahora School Principal Pat Newman.'” 

I am reading that in our loal paper. (The Northland Age, Tuesday, December 18, 2012)

The staff  payroll system for teachers introduced this year in  August causes problems. It is still full of errors. Teachers are overpaid, underpaid and pay increases are not being actioned. That’s why one “principal calls for heads to roll”.

Whenever I hear about promises, I think about the promises in the Bible. The time for the promises in the Bible has not passed and will never pass.

Here are six precious promises:

1.  Hebrews 13, 5,6 The Lord promises HELP in need.

2. Isaiah 41:10 The Lord promises STRENGTH in weakness.

3. Psalm 32:8 The Lord promises INSTRUCTION and COUNSEL in perplexity.

4. Isaiah 66:12 The Lord promises PEACE in trouble.

5. Isaiah 61:3 The Lord promises GLADNESS in mourning.

6. Acts 1:4-8 The Lord promises POWER in the work for Him.

I have full confidence in the allmighty God who is making all those promises!
