The Promises of God

You have rescued me, O God who keeps his promises Psalms 31:5

I have taken the following from Max Lucado's book "Glory Days". 

The Promises of God:

    To the bereaved: "Weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning" (Ps. 34:5) 

    To the besieged: "The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all" (Ps. 34:19) 

    To the sick: "The Lord sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness" (Ps. 41:3) 

   To the lonely: " When you pass through the waters, I will be with you" (Isa.43:2) 

    To the dying:"In my Father's house are many rooms...I go to prepare a place for you" (John 14:2) 

    To the sinner: "My grace is sufficient for you" (2 Cor. 12:9) 

As Christians, we can take comfort in God's promises while dealing with the problems in our everyday lives.    

It is comforting to know that God has already promised us relief during our struggles. All we need do is trust in Him. 

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank you for your eternal promises. Help us to remember them in our day-to-day lives. Help us with the peace you offer us despite what the world throws at us. Amen
