“Time to call in the promises,” is the article in our local paper called. (The Northland Age, Thursday, October 26, 2017)

In the article it says that some people are “especially keen to pick up discussions” on election promises. For those who don’t know we have just had a general election in New Zealand.

I am reminded of the promises  in the Bible, the promises of the Lord Jesus Christ.

To call in the election promises is of course after an election, but to call in the promises of the Lord Jesus Christ is all the time. Let us also remember that for different reasons promises made by people cannot be kept, but let us also remember that the Lord Jesus Christ is always keeping His promises.

And here is one of the precious promises of the Lord:

“‘…, AND CALL UPON ME IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE; I WILL DELIVER YOU, AND YOU WILL HONOR ME.'” (Psalm 50:15)
