“Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.” — Hebrews 10:23, NIV
Every single day, we choose to put our trust in something. It could be something small like trust that our car can take us to work or trust that our package will be delivered to the right house. However, we also have the choice to put our trust in something bigger, much beyond these small temporary things. We can rely on God and His promises each and every day.
Deuteronomy 31:8 says, “The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” We do not have to be concerned about putting our trust in God. He will not abandon us or take back His words. He is true to His promises and is by our side through it all.
“I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” — Psalm 91:2, NIV

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” — Hebrews 11:1, NIV
For some of us, it may be hard to fully put our trust in promises. Fortunately, we can see how God has kept His promises to others. The Bible gives us many stories that show our faith in God’s promises is not misplaced. Many people throughout the Bible received the blessings of God's fulfilled promises, including Noah, Abraham, David, Simeon and the Israelites.
“The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” — Psalm 28:7, NIV
We do not have to fear that God will not keep His promises. We can put our trust in Him and the promises He has given to us in His word. We may encounter doubts or worries at times. When this happens, we can turn to Him in the midst of our unbelief and ask for His help.
His greatest fulfilled promise was through Jesus Christ. Through Christ we have redemption and hope for the future.
