Nebo Promise

A Nebo promise is not a broken promise but a promise that lives in brokenness.

Nebo is the experience of being torn. It is a tension between death and life, bitter endings and new beginnings, reward and punishment, success and failure, God’s faithfulness and our faithlessness, victory, and defeat, hope and disappointment. That is all there is this side of the Jordan.

If we insist on only receiving the sweet, we will be blindsided by the bitter. If we fixate on the bitter, we will no longer taste the sweet. The challenge is not to resist the Nebo Promise but to accept it, to learn to related to both the bitter and the sweet in faith.
