Romans 4:21 And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.
Abraham believed God when He promised him a son in his old age. He and Sarah rejoiced at the birth of Isaac.

The promise Jesus gave, assuring us His presence forever, is a great comfort to me.
This song (sung by the Martins on Utube) may be unfamiliar to some, but it is a great blessing to me so I had to share it.
The Promise
_______________________
I never said that I would give you silver or gold — Or that you would never feel the fire or
shiver in the cold, — But I did say you'd never walk through this world alone. — And I did
say, don't make this world your home.
I never said that fear wouldn't find you in the night — Or that loneliness was something you'd never have to fight, — But I did say I'd be right there by your side, — And I did say I'll always help you fight.
CHORUS:
'Cause you know I made a promise that I intend to keep. — My grace will be sufficient in every time of need. — And my love will be the anchor that you can hold onto. — This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you.
I never said that friends would never turn their backs on you — Or that the world around you wouldn't see you as a fool, — But I did say like me you'll surely be despised, — And I did say my ways confound the wise
I didn't say you'd never taste the bitter kiss of death — Or have to walk through chilly Jordan to enter into rest, — But I did say I'd be waiting right on the other side. — And I did say I'll dry every tear you cry.
So just keep on walkin', don't turn to the left or right, — And in the midst of darkness, let this be your light: — That hell can't separate us, and you're gonna make it through. — This is the promise, this is the promise I made to you.
