Morning Inspiration with Pastor Merritt
When Tiger Woods was five years old, he asked his father, Earl, to buy him a tricycle. Earl Woods told his son he would have to think about it. Everyday Tiger would ask for that tricycle and everyday Earl would say he is still thinking about it. That went on for a couple of months until one day he finally said to Tiger, “Okay. I promise you will get that tricycle.”
He said he was stunned by Tiger’s reaction. He didn’t jump up and down with joy. He didn’t ask him immediately to go buy it. He didn’t ask him when he could expect to have it. He said, “I got absolutely no reaction at all. He just turned around, walked into the next room and started doing something else.” He was wondering why did Tiger react that way? Then he said it dawned on him – “Tiger believed me when I made a promise. All Tiger had to know was I would promise to get it for him and he believed my promise.
God has a perfect record of keeping His promises. He hasn’t broken one in eternity past and He won’t break one in eternity future. If you are in the middle of a storm you remember the promise of Jesus. He will get you to the other side.
