Promises, Promises...
I don't think God is overly impressed by the promises we make to Him. Yet, I know He is pleased when we believe and act on the promises He has made to us.
"Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
-- 2 Peter 1:2-4 (New Living Translation)
"But our High Priest has been given a ministry that is far superior to the ministry of those who serve under the old laws, for he is the one who guarantees for us a better covenant with God, based on better promises."
-- Hebrews 8:6 (New Living Translation)
