Perseverance in obedience is the key to receiving the promises of God. And when we get off track, repentance is key. In Psalm 119, we see that God gives us hope through His promises (vs. 49). He preserves our lives through His promises (vs. 50). He supplies us with grace according to His promises (vs. 58). And we are to meditate on and rejoice in His promises (vs. 148, 162). God's heart within us and the fulfillment of His promises allow us to forgive those who disappointed us on a greater level. When we expect people, not God, to fulfill promises only God can fulfill, we must repent and release them to Him. False expectations can hold us in bondage and cause us to miss God's very best for our lives. May we receive the full measure of God's promises by being obedient to His will.
