The difficulty

 
So God has given us both his promise and oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can take new courage, for we can hold on to his promise with confidence.” Hebrews 6: 18

Why is it so hard to wrap our minds around the promises of God?

Does suffering affect our belief in His promises? Do trials affect our belief in His promises? Does our sin and shame affect our belief in His promises?

How can we go from reading His promises, to knowing His promises, to living in His promises, no matter the suffering, trial, sin, or shame?

It is hard! 

Jesus keep me from doubting Your promises when the circumstances of life arise. Amen
