“Political skill is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year.
And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.”
- Sir Winston Churchill
History has shown us that those who make promises do not always keep them.
Some politicians mean well, but factors outside their control trump ideals.
Other politicians are deceitful—even willing to lie to get more votes.
Unfulfilled promises litter the national landscape, making cynics.
Moral corruption is ignored or covered up, making skeptics.
Many who voted chose an unknown over a scoundrel.
Most who voted are hoping for a better tomorrow.
Will promises made ever be truly carried out?
Not by human leaders, not in this society.
But wait—here’s hope for the future.
God is a genuine Promise Keeper.
The rainbow is His signature.
He alone is trustworthy.
“I have placed my rainbow in the clouds. It is the sign of my permanent promise to you and to all the earth.”
(Genesis 9:13 NLT)
“When sunbeams change course as they travel through the mist,
creating a beautiful postlude to the tempest, read My handwriting—
No storm can destroy you; the sun will shine again; you will live; you can trust Me;
I promise never to retract My solemn word; My signature is written with love’s indelible ink.”
