God's
Promises Are for Me
Sing
unto the Lord, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his
holiness. For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping
may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. Ps. 30:4, 5
To blot the promises of God from the Word
would be like blotting the sun from the sky. There would then be nothing to
gladden our experience. God has placed the promises in His Word to lead us to
have faith in Him. In these promises He draws back the veil from eternity,
giving us a glimpse of the far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory which
awaits the overcomer. Let us, then, rest in God. Let us praise Him for giving
us such a glorious revelation of His purposes.
All along our pathway God places the
flowers of promise to brighten our journey. But many refuse to gather these
flowers, choosing instead the thorns and thistles. At every step they weep and
mourn, when they might rejoice in the Lord because He has made the road to
heaven so pleasant.
As we look at the promises of God we find
comfort and hope and joy, for they speak to us the words of the Infinite One.
Properly to appreciate these precious promises we should study them carefully,
examining them in detail. How much joy we might bring into life, how much
goodness into the character, if we would but make these promises our own! As we
journey in the upward way, let us talk of the blessings strewn along the path.
As we think of the mansions Christ is preparing for us, we forget the petty
annoyances which we meet day by day. We seem to breathe the atmosphere of the
heavenly country to which we are journeying, and we are soothed and comforted.
. . . Let us honor God by weaving more of Jesus and heaven into our lives.
The unfailing promises of God will keep
your heart in perfect peace.
