Lifetime Warranty?

Today I had to call a company about an issue I was having with one of their products. I called and explained what the issue was and trying to get an answer from them about what we needed to do to correct my problem. I was told the company that produced my equipment was now out of business and parts were difficult to get if they were still available. I was also told that I would have to pay a service call for the warranty. I never had to before but now I do. The lifetime warranty is no longer what it was and it cannot be depended on for anything it once did.

After I got off the phone I realized that I was just slightly upset by what I was told. I thought about the fact that one reason I purchased the product was because the warranty would go with the house should we ever sell it. We figured that no matter what problems we had they would be taken care. I pondered the issue then realized that any warranty is as good as the company behind it and if that company goes out of business then so goes the warranty. Life is full of promises that we have been given that aren't worth anything because of who makes them. We ourselves often make promises that we cannot keep or fulfill. We get burned so to speak and sometimes quite often. But I am grateful that we serve a God that is faithful and knows how to not only make promises but is able to keep them as well. God is not a man that He can lie and go against His nature because He is holy. He loves us and wants the best for each of us. His promises are always kept and right on time as we need them. We don't need to call Him up and argue with Him to keep His promises. He will do what He says He will do. I am thankful that we serve a God like Him. He doesn't change but is the same today, yesterday and tomorrow! We do not need to worry whether or not He will be in business in the future! He will always be there not matter what any man may say. Man will pass but God will remain forever!

I am going to have to fight with the company and I have no idea how it will turn out. I will give it my best shot and see what will happen. But it is always a wonderful thought to know when it comes to our heavenly Father that we know He will take care of every problem we have if we cast it on Him. His Word is His guarantee! What an awesome thought!
