The author Herbert Locklear found 7,147 promises from God to man in the Bible.

And in Genesis 28:15 He says 

“ I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”  

And then I began to wonder have we promised Him anything in return? Many give Him their hearts. Many even surrender, and some even claim to follow Him and say they will love Him with all their mind, body, and soul .. but have we vocalized that heartfelt promise? 

He gave us 7,147 promises! My curious mind wonders just how many have been fulfilled? 

And as this image unfolded in my mind  I could hear in my heart

Romans 8:28 TPT

So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.

The meaning of promise in the Bible In a general sense, a declaration, written or verbal, made by one person to another, which binds the person who makes it, either in honor, conscience, or law, to do or forbear a certain act specified; a declaration which gives to the person to whom it is made, a right to expect or to claim the performance or forbearance of the act

How many promises have we made to God … and how many have we kept? Those promises are the threads that weave our intimacy with our beautiful Creator.
