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.

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: 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

God’s Promises: He Will Never Forget You.

You are never forsaken

Yet To Be # 167

God said, “I have chosen you, and not cast you away.” Isaiah 41:9

You are not forgotten, never forsaken.
Chosen before the beginning of time.
You are beloved, the apple of his eye, accepted in His son, and cherished by His own heart.

God’s Promise: He Gives Rest

He is my God who sits on His throne and reigns forevermore.

Yet To be #166

He gives rest to the weary.
He brings calm to the confused.
He is light when there is darkness.
He is hope for the lost, a friend to the singular, home to the homeless.
And He gives eternal life to those who are perishing.
He is altogether lovely.
He is my friend; He is my Savior.
He is my God who sits on His throne and reigns forevermore.

Come unto me, all you that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

God’s Promises: You will be remembered.

When the cold, dank scene of aloneness is the only place found where you head can rest; it is time to call upon the Lord.

Yet To Be # 165

Remembrance is a precious gift of honoring those loved, respected, cherished, or merely liked.
It is the act of looking back and preserving moments, words spoken, and actions taken.
The bitter sting of loneliness sets in when you are lost within a crowded sphere.
Your deeds are not mentioned.
Even your existence seems to be wiped clean from the memory of friends.
When the cold, dank scene of aloneness is the only place found where your head can rest.
It is time to call upon the Lord.
The One who forgives sins and wipes away all tears from your eyes.
The One who gives comfort to the brokenhearted, healing to the disparaged soul, brings cheer to the sorrowing,
And yet all the while promising never to leave or forsake you.
His love is real because He can never forget to remember.

“I formed you; you are my servant…you shall not be forgotten of me.” Isaiah 44:21

God’s Promise: Nothing is impossible

He hears and answers every prayer.

Yet To be #163

Nothing is too hard or too small to waken the ears of God.

He hears and answers every prayer.

With God all things are possible.

“With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26

God’s Promise: He has your back

He pays back

Yet to be # 160

He pays back.

Don’t get mad.

Don’t get even.

God said, “Vengeance is mine. I will repay.” Romans 12:17-19

God’s Promise: He is your champion

He is your champion

Yet To Be # 159

Where there is envy, that green-eyed monster called jealousy follows close behind.
When those around you form false opinions about you, make wrong accusations about your actions and motives.
Or if bullies rise in strength against you and no one listens to your plight, always remember what the Lord said:


“No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall condemn.” Isaiah 54:17

God’s Promises: Never the underdog

you shall be the head and not the tail

Negativity does not bring prosperity

And the Lord shall make you the head and not the tail; and you shall be above only and you shall not be beneath. Deuteronomy 28:13
