Promises

2 Cor. 1:20 says "For all the promises of God in Him (Jesus) are Yes, and in Him (Jesus) Amen, to the glory of God through us."


Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that God is aware of our every need, our every heartache, and our every tear. He is FAITHFUL. He promised us that in this world we WOULD have tribulation, but He also PROMISES us that we would overcome because He overcame. He PROMISES us that we would overcome the devil by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. He PROMISES that He would wipe every tear from our eye and that some day we would understand the "whys" of this life.


He PROMISES to be with us in the fire, flood, and fight. He PROMISES to not give us more than we can handle when our faith is sorely tried. He PROMISES to never leave nor forsake us even when we are crying out, "Lord, where ARE you?" He PROMISES that His grace IS sufficient when our flesh would shout otherwise. He PROMISES that joy WILL come in the morning when tears endure for the night. He PROMISES that if we confess our sins we WILL be healed. He PROMISES that if His people will humble themselves and pray, seek HIS face and turn from THEIR wicked ways that He will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land. He PROMISES that He is coming soon.


If you look closely you will see some swirls that look like the number 7 and 8. Seven means completion, eight means new beginnings. He PROMISES to end what needs to end and He PROMISES to begin a new thing. May you find the blessed assurance PROMISE found in Jesus-the PROMISE of God,  the Hope of Glory and  
our YES and our AMEN. 


I promise.
