God’s Promise: Ask in my name

The moment we fall on our knees in prayer, God begins to work.

Yet To be #174

We can leave it all to him.
The moment we fall on our knees in prayer, God begins to work.
He hears every cry and knows every tear.
He said, “Ask anything in my name, and I will do it.”
The words of the upright are pleasing to the Lord.
The word of a penitent heart is pleasant in his ears.
He knows the heart; he tries the reins, and he searches the soul.
No one can hoodwink him, for he is God.
Ask and see if he will not move the earth to see us through.
He is a God of love and compassion.
Great is his faithfulness.

And whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask anything in my name, I will do it. John 14:13 and 14

God’s Promise: in the midst of Depression

He raised me out of my dark hole.

Yet to be #173

He raised me out of my dark hole.
The Lord is my shepherd.
He guides my path.
I may fear what can happen to me. I fear as my body may give way, but God is able.
He has not given me over to mindless existence.
He did not leave me to struggle in my black corner.
My delight is with him.
My joy is in singing my praise to him.
He is the captain of my salvation, my soul, yes, my whole being.
He makes a path for me to walk and light to plant my steps.
I call upon him from the depth of my soul, and he hears my cry.
He promised and would not disappoint.

“He brought me also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.” Psalm 40:2

God’s Promise: Reward of Life

the Lord is not slack concerning his promise

Yet to be #171

Our names are written in the Book of Life
If we confess Him to the world.
If we walk in his favor bringing honor to his name by living a life that pleases God and by trusting him at his word, then there is proof of conviction and conversion.
We overcome the world, lost to the whims and fancies of life that hold no meaning to God because He has no preeminence.
Being friends with the world and loving the things of the world puts us at enmity with Christ.
We cannot have two masters.
Christ as savior seals us with the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption.
There is nothing that can separate us from the love of God, neither death, hell, Satan, or the grave.
He promised when our name is written in the Book of Life, it will never be erased.

(References: Revelation 3:5 “I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.”

2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise.”

God’s promises: I go to prepare a place for you.

Where He is, He wants us to be.

Yet To Be # 170

The desire to have someone we love close and to keep that person always near is worth having.
Opening our life, our dwelling place to someone our heart forms an attachment is intimate and precious.
It is a language far deeper than emotions can ever flow.
It is out of sight, out of mind caught up in the heart, which is the seat of all affection.
This is the love of God and His desire in His promises towards us.
Where He is, He wants us to be.
Where He belongs, we have a home ready and waiting.
There is no other desire in His heart but for us.
If that isn’t love indeed, the oceans are dry, and there are no stars in the sky.

“I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there you maybe also.” John 14:2 and 3

God’s Promise: Live Forever

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son.

Yet To Be #169

His love is vast, so great, reaching out to everyone who comes to Him freely.
He gives; His greatest gift of all is the Son of His infinite love.
How can we not accept this gift?
How do we callously turn away, mock Him, trample on his kindness, forsake His mercy and still dare to call ourselves a child of God when we hate the son of His love, Jesus the Christ?
Yet, those who believe and trust in Him are gifted with a promise that transcends all manner of understanding. It is the unmerited and divine promise of life eternal, to live forever.

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

God’s Promise: Kindness forever

Touched by the feelings of our infirmities

Yet To Be #168

Knowing the Almighty God, the Creator of the universe cares for us surpasses all understanding.
He sent His only Son to suffer and die, to secure us for Himself.
His love reaches far, burning the very fringes of our minds and awakening our dark souls. There is no God like Him, gentle in mercy and plenteous in understanding.
Touched by the feelings of our infirmities, He cannot deny himself; so deep is His love, who can compare?

For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee. Isaiah 54:10

And He gives eternal life to those who are perishing.
