promises

What do you expect out of life? The world is full of change and uncertainty, but you can count on my promises. So what have I promised you?  If you enjoy a life that is comfortable and stable you may think it is normal and take it for granted, but this is not something that I have promised. Attend carefully to what I said and what I did not say. I did promise to meet your basic needs here but I also said that you would have trials and tribulations. Most of my promises pertained to my eternal Kingdom. That does not mean that you have to wait for them, for Kingdom life is available to you now, but it still pertains to those things above, not the wealth and security of this world that the gentiles seek.
