~GOD’S GIFT OF PROMISES~
“Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
Are ye not much better than they?”
…….Matthew 6: 26

All through this life, we’ll have our problems. Adversity is like a grindstone of life.
It can either polish us or pulverize us. What it does to us depends upon
our attitude. There’s no need to worry when we have the promises
of our Lord to claim. He’ll bring us through every trial of life as we
trust in Him with all our heart and lean not to our own understanding.
Things may not always be as we want, but God will carry us through
as we put our faith in Him.
*Walter Raleigh was imprisoned for thirteen years. He didn’t mope during these
years but chose to cope instead. During this time, he wrote The History
of The World.
Martin Luther was confined in the Castle of Wartburg and could have been
overcome. Yet, he choose to overcome the trials in his life and translated the
Bible during his confinement. We can choose to let adversity polish us
and look to the Lord to solve our problems. He is the Problem solver and
there is nothing too difficult for our God. He already knows the beginning
from the end and has the answer in His hands.
We have been given many promises as God’s children and the assurance
of receiving answers to our prayers. The promise of having prayers answered
is conditional, and depends upon our abiding in the Lord and letting his
words abide in our heart. Our problems can be turned into possibilities
as we let the Lord solve them.
Abiding is staying in the will of the Lord and seeking to dwell in the secret
place of the Most High God. There is a place of refuge from the storms of
life and the heat of battle that can be found only in God. It is good to know t
hat if we abide in the Lord and hide His words in our heart, we can ask of Him
and expect to receive answers to prayers.
God’s gifts do not cease with salvation. He keeps on giving and blessing us all the
days of our life, as we look to Him. We could never describe all that our Lord
does for us each day. As the words to an old gospel song tell us, “it is joy unspeakable
and full of glory, the half has never yet been told.” One day, we shall behold
the one who died for us. We shall praise Him eternally for His supreme sacrifice
that we might have eternal life.
Thanks to our Lord for having us on his mind when He was on the Cross
of Calvary. Lift the name of the Lord on high today. God inhabits the praises
of his people and gives the greatest gift of all to those who will receive Him.
Claim the promises of God today and be abundantly blessed!
Blessings in Christ,
