Promises

 

Every one of us are facing, will be facing, or have just finished facing tough times, challenges, troubles, fears, doubts, or painful situations in our lives. Therefore, the Lord wants to remind us of His promises He has for us and so today’s devotion is just that, God’s promises He gave us in His word.  I pray His word will encourage you, strengthen you, comfort you, fill you with peace, and remind you just how much you are loved.

 

 

 

Lamentations 3:24-25

The Lord is my portion, says my soul, therefore I have hope in Him.  The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the person who seeks Him.

 

Isaiah 40:29-31

He gives strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary.

 

Isaiah 45:2a

I will go before you and make the rough places smooth…

 

Isaiah 52:13

Behold, My servant will prosper, He will be high and lifted up, and greatly exalted.

 

 

Isaiah 55:6-12

Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.  Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have compassion on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.  For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, declares the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.  For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so shall My word be which goes froth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me empty, without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.  For you will go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills will break forth into shouts of joy before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

 

 

 

 

 

Isaiah 56:1-2

Thus says the Lord, Preserve justice, and do righteousness, for My salvation is about to come and My righteousness to be revealed.  How blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who takes hold of it; who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

 

 

Matthew 11:28-30

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My load is light.

 

Galatians 6:9

And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.

 

Ephesians 1:7-14

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, which He lavished upon us.  In all wisdom and insight He made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His kind intentions which He purposed in Him with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things upon the earth.  In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to His purpose who works all things after the counsel of His will, to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation – having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.

 

 

 

My final scripture I would like to share with you is one that made me think of you as I read it.  It is how I feel about you and what I do for you.

 

Ephesians 1:15-16

For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you, and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers.

 

God bless you with an unshakable faith and undying love in Him.
