9 Promises of God
Dear diary,
One thing that I can always rely on are the promises of God. The estimated delivery time on my packages can fail me, my nail tech can fail me, and the anticipated movie premier can fail me. But, the one thing that I can always depend on are God's promises.
A few years ago, I received in the mail these index cards that had several promises of God on them. I would read them almost everyday for about 3 months. As the words began to penetrate my heart, I felt a shift in how I viewed things. It hit me that these promises are true and that nothing can fail the word of God.
They changed my walk and I hope they change other people's walk with Christ as well.
1st Kings 8:56 Promises
"Praise be to the LORD, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses."
1 John 5:14-15 Prayer
"This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him."
Isaiah 41:10 God's Help
"So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Philippians 4:19 Needs
"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus."
Proverbs 3:5-6 Guidance
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
Deuteronomy 31:8 Presence
"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
Romans 8:38-39 Love
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,[a] neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
1 John 1:9 Forgiveness
"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
John 10:28 Security
"I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand.."
Lord thank you that we can always rely on your word. Thank you that your word is true and springs forth life in us. I pray that your promises plant seeds in the hearts of others. I give you all the glory and honor. In your son Jesus Christ's name. Amen.
