“Named and claimed” that senior cabin service position? God will give it to you when and if such a position is part of His perfect plan for your life.

The real and precious promise that God has made to His children is that He will see them through their affliction and, in fact, use that affliction to make them more Christlike.

He also promises eventually to deliver them from all afflictions in the World to come. That said, we are often on theologically thin ice when we assume He has made promises unrelated to this core promise. We are on even thinner ice when we let unfulfilled expectations based on our own faulty assumptions sway us into thinking God is not worthy of our complete trust.

God absolutely keeps His promises. He does not, however, keep promises He never made to us to begin with.

“Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:21
