“For the Lord will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the Lord has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.” 1 Samuel 12:22 (NASB)
Our Bible promise for today is found in a verse from the First book of Samuel in the Old Testament. These recorded words were spoken by the prophet and priest Samuel to God's people in that day. We know that in the time recorded in the Old Testament, God was dealing especially with the people of Israel. This promise was given specifically to them at that time. God has a larger family today. We who have believed on Jesus as our Savior are now part of God's family. We believe that God has been pleased to make us His own people through adoption into His family. That is why he sent His only begotten Son to save us. If you have believed in Jesus you can be sure that God looks on you as His own and this pleases Him. As you trust in Jesus, God will draw you closer to Him and your faith will grow stronger and your understanding will increase in the wisdom of God. Let's take this promise today that tells us God will not abandon an account of His great name and who He is.
