God never made a promise that was too good to be true.

Host: The room was filled with a quiet stillness, the kind of calm that settled into the evening as the world outside slowly faded into twilight. The soft glow of the lamp illuminated the pages of a worn book in Jack’s hands, but his focus seemed to be elsewhere, lost in thought. Jeeny, who had been organizing some papers at the table, noticed his thoughtful silence and paused, sensing that he was reflecting on something important.

Jeeny: “You seem deep in thought. What’s on your mind?”

Jack: “I came across a quote today by Dwight L. Moody: ‘God never made a promise that was too good to be true.’ It made me stop for a second, thinking about the idea that when God makes promises, they are always true, no matter how extraordinary they may seem. It kind of flips the way we normally think about promises or expectations.”

Jeeny: “That’s such a powerful thought, isn’t it? Often, when we hear promises, especially in the world around us, we’re skeptical. It’s easy to think that some promises are too good to be true, like they’re just wishful thinking or empty words. But Dwight L. Moody is saying that when it comes to God, those promises are always reliable. Even the ones that seem beyond our comprehension are true.”

Jack: “Right. It’s like we live in a world where promises are often broken, or at least feel conditional. But with God, there’s an absolute assurance. It makes you think differently about faith—about the certainty of the promises He makes. We’re so used to questioning things, doubting them, but when you see it like this, you realize that God’s promises are never limited by what we can imagine.”

Jeeny: “Exactly. It’s easy to doubt when we’re used to seeing the imperfections in human promises—how often we fall short, how easy it is to break a promise. But with God, His promises are grounded in eternal truth and love. There’s no deception or condition in His words. The idea that no promise He makes can be ‘too good to be true’ speaks to His infinite goodness.”

Jack: “It changes how we see life’s challenges too, doesn’t it? If we truly believe that God’s promises are always true, no matter how grand they sound, we start to trust in His guidance and provision in ways we might not have before. It’s almost like a challenge to rethink our doubts, to recognize that what we might consider impossible or too good to be real is part of what He has promised.”

Jeeny: “Yes! And it’s not just about hope for the future, but also about trusting that His promises are for us today, in our present struggles and joys. Whether it’s about peace, love, healing, or grace, those promises are real, and we can claim them with confidence because they’re not based on our abilities, but on God’s faithfulness.”

Jack: “And there’s a sense of security in that, isn’t there? Knowing that, no matter what, the promises He makes won’t fail us. Even when we can’t see the outcome, we know that what He has promised is as good as done.”

Jeeny: “Absolutely. And it’s not just about the big promises—the ones that seem almost impossible—but also about the small promises we may overlook. The promise of presence, of guidance, of peace in the midst of trouble. Those promises are reliable, and that makes the challenges of life a little easier to face, knowing we don’t face them alone and that God’s truth will stand no matter what.”

Jack: “I think that’s the key, really—the idea that we can trust in His promises, no matter how good they may sound. Because His goodness is not bound by what we think is possible. If He says it, it’s true.”

Jeeny: “And that’s something to hold onto. The certainty that, when we have faith, we’re not just hoping for something uncertain. We’re resting on something that is guaranteed. And that gives us the strength to keep going.”

Host: The room seemed to breathe a little easier, the quiet reflection settling in as Jack and Jeeny considered the weight of the words. Dwight L. Moody’s quote had sparked something deeper—an understanding that the promises God makes, no matter how grand or seemingly impossible, are always true. They are a steady foundation, reliable and certain, offering strength, peace, and guidance for all who trust in them.
