“…fulfilled on the scale of a whole nation…”

Dear Children,
We have previously learned that God is a God who keeps His promises. God promised Adam and Eve that one day He would send a Saviour who would bruise the head of the serpent, Satan. God fulfilled this promise when the Lord Jesus Christ came into the world and died on the cross for our sins.
But did you know that we can also see God's promises being fulfilled on the scale of a whole nation?
Let us look at Genesis 12:7a, And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land:
God promised Abraham, who was called Abram at that time, that He would give the land of Canaan to his descendants. Abraham's descendants became the nation of Israel, also known as the Israelites.
God did give the land to the Israelites, just as He had promised. However, because of their repeated disobedience and sin against God, He allowed them to be conquered and scattered from their land.
But God did not forget His promise.
After many centuries of being scattered among the nations, the Jewish people began returning to the land, and in 1948 the modern nation of Israel was established. Today, Israel can be found on the map as a nation.
What does this teach us? It reminds us that God never forgets His promises. Even when many years pass, God remains faithful to His Word.
If God is powerful and faithful enough to fulfil His promises concerning a nation, we can also trust Him to fulfil all His other promises. God has promised that one day the Lord Jesus Christ will return and reign as King.
So, children, let us look forward to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. It will be a wonderful day when our Saviour comes again!
God keeps His promises. We can always trust Him.
