The God You Can Depend On

Main message: God is faithful and dependable — when he promises something you must hold fast, endure, and depend on him rather than quit, because his delays are not denials and he will fulfill his word.

Key points:

• God never fails; his promises are trustworthy and he is able to do exceedingly abundantly above what we ask or imagine.
• Faith means holding fast without wavering — don't quit when the promise is delayed or when feelings and circumstances tempt you to give up.
• Biblical examples (Abraham, Job) show endurance: they acted in faith and waited even when the fulfillment seemed unreasonable or long delayed.
• Endurance brings reward: persevering believers will reap the harvest and see what God intended; giving up forfeits blessings.
• Be dependent on God (not merely expecting his availability); you need him daily for everything and should cultivate reliance, not negotiation.
