Do you believe that all the promises in the bible are true?
Do you believe that you can claim these promises personally in your life?
I do - well - sometimes - well - yes I believe them but I often don't act like I do.
I was reading toward the end of Joshua how the Lord gave to Israel all the land that he swore to give to their fathers. The people took possession and settled. And the Lord gave them rest on every side. Take these words to heart today: Joshua 21:45 "Not one word of all the good promises that the Lord had made to the house of Israel had failed; all came to pass."
God's promises all came to pass - ALL OF THEM.
His promises in the bible will all come to pass in your and my life too. For example: "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." - "For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." - "The Lord your God is with you wherever you go." - "Fear not, for I have redeemed you." - "But whoever listens to me will live in safety and at ease, without fear or harm." - "God is our refuge and strength."
Reading the promises that God gives us and living them out are two different things. We can see that in the lives of the Isrealites. The verse above reminds me of this amazing, powerful and loving God that we have. His promises still were true even though they failed time after time. Such is the case with you and me. We fail, time after time but God's promises will never fail us - ever!
Pray this prayer with me: Father God, I love you. I want your promises to be alive in my life. I want to not just know them but to know and believe them deep within my soul. You are a God of love and a God of peace. Pour an extra measure of your Spirit within me to overflowing and I submit to you all of my life. I desire your promises fill me to my core. Thank you Jesus.
