Wow!
Promises of God! God is the ultimate extreme promise maker!
The ultimate promise keeper! And we can walk assured he will fulfill every promise He has made! How utterly awesome is that! I will be covering why we can believe that today and tomorrow!
I had no idea the vast amount of promises the word of God holds! This cannot be another of my rabbit trails, it is deeper than I ever imagined…
So I will walk slowly through and share how my mind explores this miracle of truths the Lord has stored up in His Word! There are so many I do not where this study is going to go…but I am on board!
My first thought was just what is a promise? Simple right, until you think about it, for it requires faith to believe in promises. I have asked several people what a promise is to them most answered it is “someone committing to do something without fail”. Words like assurance, guarantee, pledge, secure and undertake are all synonyms of the word promise. Every day we place faith in every day circumstances that our cars will run, the gas we buy will be good, the food we eat safe, our prescriptions will make us well.
Therefore, when we receive a promise we must place a certain amount of confidence in the source from which we are accepting the promise; in this case God through His written word. Perhaps that is why God gave each of us a measure of faith “KJV Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith”.
All of us having a portion of faith then what promises does God give us toward placing that faith in Him and His precious Son Jesus Christ and his Word?
Let me stop there for now and look up the scriptures where God’s promises show us He is indeed who He says He is and will do what He said He would do!
I leave you with blessings for the day:
May God bless all that you so for His names sake!
