God’s Faithfulness to His Promises
By Sandra Sheridan | | Encouragement, Faith, Help for the Hurting, Knowing God
Most people have been on the receiving end of injustice at least once in their lives. You were passed over for a job you deserved. The other guy got the raise and you didn’t. Someone else got credit for your hard work. You were ignored instead of welcomed. This kind of unfairness crushes our spirit, but we have a God who sees all. And even when you have been wronged it doesn’t annul His promises. He is faithful and will work out His plan for your life in the end.
