Promises Of God

May 15th – 2 Corinthians 4:18

2 Corinthians 4:18

As Christians, we are called to have eyes that focus on the eternal promises of God. With faith as our lens, seeing the unseen and trusting in His unchanging truth. As we await the return of Jesus, let us fix our eyes on the eternal glory that awaits us. For though the troubles of this world may be many, they are but temporary shadows compared to the radiant light of God’s kingdom. So let us not lose heart in the face of adversity. Instead let us focus on the unseen realities of His eternal realm. Because in that beautiful and glorious kingdom, treasures beyond our comprehension await us. Treasures that far outweigh any present suffering we may endure. In light of that truth, may we press on with faith and perseverance, knowing that our current trials are but a passing moment in the grand scheme of eternity. For the glory that will be revealed in us surpasses all earthly pain and hardship. Therefore, let us eagerly anticipate the day when we will be united with Jesus forever, basking in the fullness of His love and glory for all eternity.

December 12th – Luke 1:14

Luke 1:14

In ancient times, reputation was everything. And those without the blessing of children meant God’s favor had turned away from them. Zacharias had always wanted a child, but his wife Elizabeth was barren. Many assumed it was a punishment from God. But not so. For when Elizabeth was 60 years old, an angel of the Lord came to Zacharias and told him not only was his wife going to get pregnant, but it would be a boy! I’m sure there were plenty who scoffed at the thought. But when God makes a promise, we know He will always deliver! God blessed Zacharias with his son John whose great work would be to prepare the hearts of the people to receive the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ. The world can laugh and mock the promises of God. But we as Christians can rejoice. For we know each and every one will come true!

October 7th – Acts 17:28

Acts 17:28

God’s Promise – “Your life comes from Me because you are My offspring.”

There’s a quote which says, “All life is a breath exhaled by God. All dying is a breath inhaled by God.” Paul understood this well. And he was grieved when he found the Athenians, who prided themselves on their arts and philosophy, worshipping false idols. So in ministering to them about God, Paul appealed to them using reason, citing examples from their own Greek poets. He taught that we are all offspring of God. And as His children we live, move, and exist in Him. We live because as Creator of all things, God is the source of life. We move because as Ruler of our lives, our hearts, thoughts and actions are guided by His wisdom. We exist because God alone is the giver and taker of life. The breath of every new day is a gift given by our Creator. And, good or bad, we praise Him for each one. Because apart from God, nothing and no one can exist.

May 30th – Hebrews 4:12

Hebrews 4:12

Many are the ways and forms in which God sends us help. And one of the most powerful is His Word. The Bible contains the history of creation, the Good News of Jesus Christ, and the wonderful promises of God. It’s also a blueprint for life, giving us valuable advice and practical applications for any and all situations. Abraham Lincoln is quoted as saying, “I believe the Bible is the best book God has ever given to man. All the good of the Savior of the world is communicated to us through the Book”. I couldn’t agree more. No matter what I’m going through, God’s Word is there. It’s the first place I turn to when I am afraid, weary, lost, happy, and most of all, when I want to be close to God. It fills me with joy, nurtures my soul, heals my wounds, and protects me from the Enemy’s attacks. More than just a good book, the Bible is God’s life preserver to all and instruction manual for life!
