Grace and peace brothers and sisters in Christ. Has anyone ever made a promise to you and you're still waiting for them to keep it? Maybe it was a loan someone needed in a crunch and they promised to pay it back the next Friday, but "next Friday" never came! Well I'm so glad we serve a God who is indeed a "promise-keeper."
In the twelfth verse of the first chapter of Jeremiah, God informs Jeremiah, and us also by application, that "God watches over God's Word to perform it." And in the fifty-fifth chapter of Isaiah God says that "God's Word shall not return to God void, but it shall accomplish that which God purposes, and shall prosper in the thing for which God sent it." The God we serve is a Word-Watcher! That means that there is nothing that God has said or will say that will not come to pass. It must happen, because the Creator of the Universe has said so, and God's Word is sure!

We see this principle of God in practice from the beginning. In the book of Genesis, God said, "Let there be..." and the Word set out to accomplish it. We know this by the way, because God inspired John to write in the third verse of the first chapter of his book that, "all things were made through the Word and there was not anything, that was made, that wasn't made by the Word! But not only was the Word set to accomplish the will of the Father, but the Spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters, watching over the action of God's Word. Jesus, the Word made flesh, watches over God's Word when he says to John in the 4th chapter to allow his baptism to take place that "righteousness might be fulfilled." God is a Word - Watcher!
The question today is what did God speak over your life? What did God say about you? To you? Many of you are in a state of limbo right now, because like Jeremiah, you can't believe what God has said about you, or told you to do. Some of you are looking at your circumstances. Mad about the situations you're finding yourself in, instead of looking at where God has told you to go or listening to what God has told you to do. Get over your-self, and be about your Father's business. You can do what God said you can do! You can go where God said you can go, because our God is Word-Watcher!
Now please your Heavenly Father right now as you truly allow God's Word to be a lamp unto your feet and light unto your path, and fulfill the purposes of the Great Word-Watcher! Walk by Faith. Peace.
