Promises, we all have made them, and we all have broken them. It is not easy to always keep our promises to ourselves, to others, and to God, but thankfully, God is not a man that He might lie! (Numbers 23:19). Every child you encounter this month will have had promises made to them broken, and they will have broken promises that they have made. It is obvious to understand how we can find it difficult to trust what others say. We hope that this month you will help kids see that God is not like man; every promise God makes, He keeps.

This month kids will learn that God can be trusted and that He is faithful and just. God made a promise to Noah, to Abraham and Sarah, to Jacob, to David, and to us. Each promise God made He kept. He promised to rescue Noah from the flood, and He did! God promised to make Abraham a great nation even though Sarah was too old to bear children, and He did!
 

 He promised to be with Jacob everywhere he went, and He was! God promised David that He would go with him and help him in his fight against a giant, and He did! God promised to send a Savior to save people from sin, and He did!
 
Over and over again, kids can see evidence of God’s faithfulness, not just to the people in the Bible, but to each of us. We pray that kids will see that although the stories in the Bible happened many years ago, they are still relevant to our lives today. Because of His great love for us, kids can trust that God keeps His promise to never leave or forsake them.
