Body:
I. Bel and Nebo - the false gods (v.1)
A. False gods are not only graven images, but instead, anything or anyone where you give importance greater than God in your life, is a false god/idol of yours.
B. False gods are those things that drag you away from God, because you are putting them first.
C. False gods are those things where people put there hope to rather than God.
II. False gods bring forth heaviness (vv. 1-2)
A. Even if you serve them, all that is waiting for you is failure (I Kings 18, Baal's prophets losing to Elijah)
B. They can't help you because they can't even help themselves (Judges 6:25-32)
III. The True God and His True Promises (vv. 3-4)
A. All who trust Him is authorized to receive His promises.
B. From your birth until you grow old, the True God is by your side (Psalms 37:25)
C. He created you, not to forsake you, but to save you. (Genesis 3:21)
Conclusion:
The promises of God are true, because He is true. These are faithful because He is faithful. If you really know your God, you know for sure that trusting Him is a SURE thing.
