“Blessed be the Lord, that hath given rest unto His people Israel, according to all that He promised: There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised by the hand of Moses His servant.” (I Kings 8:56)
Since you and I are human we may not be able to keep all the promises we make, however well intentioned we may have been when we made the promise. Someone promises to pay back a bank note at a given time. However his failing health, loss of a job or a number of other unforeseen things may hinder his keeping that promise.
It was following Solomon’s prayer of dedication of the temple that he reminded the people of Israel of the many promises God had made to them and that He had never broken one of them.
God has never broken a promise. John 3:16 is the apex of all the promises of God. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” He has never broken a promise. You can trust Him to keep this one.
