The Promised Land was a tangible representation of God's ultimate desire for His people, but they failed to comprehend His gift for at least three reasons: It was unconditionally promised, it was outrageously generous, and it was absolutely free. None of those make sense in the world as we know it.

Charles R. Swindoll

Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs.

David Ben-Gurion

Others have promised and failed. But God has promised and succeeded. He loves you with an unfailing love.

Max Lucado

God never promised us a trouble-free life.

Joyce Meyer

If I'm a young mom or young dad, I can find a great source of strength. God has promised that He will help me to be the mom or dad that He wants me to be. He has promised to be with me every step of the way. He has promised that He will never leave me or forsake me. These are wonderful promises that I can learn to trust and build a life on.

Max Lucado

I guess I was wrong when I said I never promised anyone. I promised me.

Jim Henson

We're building an independent political program that can run electoral politics and then turn on a dime to hold our leaders to task, in case they suddenly develop that old case of amnesia! We'll be there to remind them what they promised and who they promised to work for!

Richard Trumka

I promised to always bring up a glass of water to her before we go to bed, and she promised to never let me dress myself.

I promised to carry on Jeff Session's legacy of fighting for the conservative values we believe in. I promised to help pass the Trump agenda and serve the people's interest, not the special interests. And I promised to help Donald Trump drain the swamp in Washington.

Luther Strange

God has promised forgiveness to your repentance, but He has not promised tomorrow to your procrastination.

Saint Augustine

Science has promised us truth...It has never promised us either peace or happiness.

Gustave Le Bon

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.
