Simple Thoughts On Promises- 45

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill? (Numbers 23:19)

Has the Lord promised you something? Perhaps he has spoken to you several times regarding the same thing but it has not yet happened. Do not worry, the Lord is faithful. He will fulfill it very soon. Be strong and courageous.

For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. (1 Timothy 4:8)

Godliness in one sense means having the same qualities of God. But how can mortal man acheive that? Is it possible? Yet, that is what holds promise for you and me for both the present life and the life to come. The Bible says, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. (2 Peter 1:3)

"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out - those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned." (John 5:28, 29)

Will be you there in the "Resurrection to everlasting life"? God gives everyone an oppurtunity to know and seek him and to live for him. The Bible says, "Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years." (Revelation 20:6)

By faith Abraham, even though he was past age - and Sarah herself was barren - was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise. (Hebrews 11:11)

Like Abraham, consider him faithful who has made the promise to you. The Lord has promised, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you." He is our unchanging God. Cast away all your doubts. Jesus loves you with an everlasting love.

But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. (2 Peter 3:13)

Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the LORD. (Psalm 31:24)

Are you feeling downcast today? Sick and tired of this thing called "life"? Nothing unusual, it happens to most of us. Sometimes Christian life is like a clock's pendulum with faith swinging to and fro; but you must hang in there, remembering the words of the Lord," And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Matthew 28:20)

(Matthew 8:10)The Roman centurion believed that one word from Jesus was enough to heal his servant; will you believe?

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes, with your right hand you save me. (Psalm 138:7)

Great are the saving works of the Lord when the enemy brings trouble to our lives. Satan is the hater of all good and tries to thwart the work of God but he loses again and again because God is the protector of those who walk with him.
