When our oldest grandson, Luke, was three or four years old, he would take what his mom said very literally.

Jamie might tell Luke, his brother and sister, "Tomorrow we will go to the zoo!"

If it was rainy the next morning and plans were changed, Luke would say, "I thought you said we were going to the zoo!"

Jamie quickly learned to rephrase her words, "We will have to watch the weather and if it is nice, we will go to the zoo!"

There are lots of phrases and promises in the Bible: God said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you!"
(Joshua 1:5)

You or I may not be feeling much of God and His love and care in our lives. Like Luke, we need to challenge God in our prayers, "I thought you said..........". But God doesn't change and He meant every word He said!

Jesus said (John 8:32), "You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." We need to remind ourselves of what He said as if He said it directly to us! His words are true. That means we are set free!

He says it. We can believe it!
