“I really did not mean it”

Can you think of a time when someone hurt your feelings and later said, “I really did not mean it”? How many times has someone made a promise to you and said that you could count on them only later to break that promise by saying, “I really did not mean it”? It is amazing how we can make promises and then be ready to try to escape them when we are caught in a dilemma.

We should be so happy that God does not operate that way! When God says something, you can count on it! Peter said that “the Lord is not slow concerning His promise as some count slowness…” (2 Peter 3:9). Paul and John said, “God is faithful” (1 Corinthians 1:9, 10:13, 1 John 1:9). When God makes you a promise he does not try to escape from it. He will not say, “I really did not mean it.”
God means what He says!

Have a great weekend!
