Episode Synopsis

Hebrews 6:17-18 (ESV) - “So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us.”In a world full of broken promises and shifting seasons, it’s hard to know who—or what—to trust. Politicians fail. Friends disappoint. Even our own strength wears out. But Hebrews 6:18 reminds us of one unshakable truth: “It is impossible for God to lie.”God’s promises are not empty words. They are rooted in His unchanging character. He does not change His mind. He does not forget. When He says, “I will never leave you,” He means it. When He promises forgiveness, peace, and eternal life, we can hold on to that.Abraham is a powerful example. Though he waited many years for the promise of a son, he never stopped trusting God. Through faith and patience, he saw the promise fulfilled. God kept His word—and He always will.Today, we are heirs of that same promise. Because of Jesus, we have direct access to God’s presence and a hope that is “a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul” (v. 19). No matter what kind of storm we face—fear, grief, doubt, failure—His promise holds us steady.We don’t hope based on feelings or wishful thinking. Our hope is anchored in truth. God’s Word is eternal. His love is constant. And His promises never fail.Don’t place your hope in changing circumstances or people. Anchor your life in God’s promises. He has never failed—He never will.Prayer:Lord, thank You that Your promises never fail. In a world full of change and uncertainty, help me trust in Your Word. Anchor my heart in Your faithfulness and teach me to walk by faith, even when I don’t see the answer right away. Strengthen me to wait patiently, like Abraham. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
