Promises

 In Matthew 6:31-33 (KJV) Jesus Says, "Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherefore withal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." In Matthew 11:28-29 Jesus says, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls." John 3:16 (KJV) Says, "For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Isaiah 41:10 (KJV) Says, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."

There are many examples found in the Bible of God making promises, and keeping them.He promised Abraham that he would bless him abundantly, and He did so. He promised Abraham He would bless those who blessed him, and curse those who cursed him, and He did so. He promised Moses he would go with him into Egypt, and be with him as he led the Israelites out of bondage, and into the promised land. He kept that promise. When God gave King Solomon the opportunity to ask for anything he wanted, King Solomon chose wisdom to reign over the people fairly. Since King Solomon requested something so unselfish God promised to bless him with riches and honor. God kept that promise. The Bible contains numerous promises made and kept by God, far more than I could begin to list here. The above scripture gives an example of a few of those promises, and their fulfillment.

In the passage of scripture taken from Matthew Chapter six, God promises that if we put Him first we do not have to worry over our needs because He knows what they are, and  He will make certain that they are met. In the passage of scripture from Matthew Chapter eleven Jesus promises us that if we come to Him in prayer when we are overwhelmed He will give us rest. John 3:16 promises us that if we accept Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior we will be granted eternal life.

God's Word is filled with great promises to us, if we will accept Him as our Lord and Savior and choose to live in obedience to Him. The Word of God contains thousands of examples that prove God NEVER breaks a promise. If  I told you there was someone who loves you unconditionally, will keep every promise they make to you, meet all of your needs, take on every worry and problem you have, comfort you in sorrow, be your strength in time of need, be available to you twenty four hours a day, seven days a week, and they'll never leave or forsake you, what would your response be? I feel quite certain you'd ask me how you could get in touch with this someone, and you'd find them quick.

Friends, God is that someone. Numbers 23:19 (KJV) Says, "God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do? Or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?" Don't miss out on all the great promises God has for you. He has proven He will keep each and every one of them. All you have to do is ask Him into your heart, and choose to obey Him.  If you haven't accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, I urge you to do so immediately. Don't miss out on God's greatest promise; his promise of eternal life with Him in Heaven. Ask Him into your heart while there is still time. Just pray a simple prayer, ask God to forgive you of all your sins, tell Him you believe that Jesus was born, died on the cross for your sins, and that He rose again. Ask him to come into your heart, and be your Lord and Savior. If you prayed this prayer you are heir to all of God's promises. God bless you! 

If you have a prayer request and would like me to pray for you, leave me a message and I will be more than happy to do so. May God bless you.
