“The Promises Of God”

2 Corinthians 4:3-18

Promises is defined as an express assurance on which expectation is to be based; agreement; commitment; vow. 

God's promises to us are given throughout Scripture, inviting us to believe more deeply in who He is. His promises come from his character; he is loving, good, holy, never-changing, and so much more. He always fulfills his promises to us, never once denying these promises for those who believe in Jesus. The key to unlocking these promises is obedience. In Paul's letter to the Roman church, he asks, “who can separate us from the love of Christ?” The answer: no one and nothing. Not life or death, angels nor demons, no power or living creature, nothing can separate us from the love of Christ. Even when the world is spinning out of control, despair and tragedy all around, we are carefully in the grip of God’s love. If He is for us, who, or what can come against us? Nothing. God promises that we will never be without His love. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." The more you listen to God, the more your steps align with His and your plans will lead toward a prosperous future. No matter what you are going through, no matter how hard things may seem, overwhelming victory is yours. Victory will happen. Persevere through the storm. Our trials have purpose. Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.” God reminds us to choose joy in whatever we face, confident that He is working even though every trial and hard place, to bring us greater endurance. We never gain greater strength and spiritual muscles simply by living an “easy” life. We can only build deeper faith and perseverance by walking through the hard times that press us more closely into His Presence.

I come by this morning to let you know we can trust that God has enough riches to meet and supply our every need! Whether our needs are emotional, spiritual, or physical, we have a loving God that will meet us in our time of need. Embrace the promise Jesus is coming soon. May it put urgency in our life. May it remind us to share the love of Jesus with all we meet. May we look forward to the day in great anticipation when we see Our Savior face to face. Amen!!! Be bless and I love you!!! JE
