God Keeps His Promises

Shalom Dear Ones! 

I hope you are staying well and in the shalom of God.

Life has certainly changed during this worldwide pandemic, and many of the things that we have taken for granted and relied on have come to a halt.

But God’s Word has not changed, and we can ALWAYS rely on Him to uphold His Word. His Word is an anchor to our soul. When circumstances, trials and tribulations attempt to bring swirling winds of anxiety, we can stay in perfect peace when God’s Word is kept in the forefront of our minds and on our lips.

God has given His people many promises in His Word. And GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.

Even when life throws a huge curve ball making it look impossible for His promises to be fulfilled, HE IS FAITHFUL.

But He does require us to remain faithful and trust Him to perform His Word.

For instance, Abraham was given specific promises, and although in the natural, they looked impossible at times, God proved Himself faithful. And He will do it again and again.

Let’s read Genesis 17:1-8

“When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am God Almighty; walk before me faithfully and be blameless. Then I will make my covenant between me and you and will greatly increase your numbers.”

“Abram fell facedown, and God said to him, “As for me, this is my covenant with you: You will be the father of many nations. No longer will you be called Abram; your name will be Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations.  I will make you very fruitful; I will make nations of you, and kings will come from you.  I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you. The whole land of Canaan, where you now reside as a foreigner, I will give as an everlasting possession to you and your descendants after you; and I will be their God.”

What promise are you waiting for God to fulfill in your life? Be patient, faithful and steadfast, and He will bring it to pass.

Heavenly Father,

Help me to trust You and remain faithful to You no matter what. Give me the revelation in Your Word that will build an anchor in my soul to keep me stable in times of trouble.

Amen.

 

Blessings,

Sherry

No Coveting

Hello there!

We’re wrapping up writing on the Ten Commandments. Today we’re on the 10th commandment that was written on tablets of stone by God and given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

I will never cease to be awed by God when I read the Bible, and I believe every word of it.

The 10th Commandment is found in Exodus 20:17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

Covet means to want or desire what does not belong to you. Well, today that’s a tough one for a lot of people, especially those who are trying to keep up with the Joneses and the reality shows. The carnal, fleshly nature of mankind can never be satisfied.

Thankfully, God’s ways are not like our ways. I love what He says in Isaiah 55:8-9 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

Advertisements bombard us daily, trying to make us think we need so many things to make us happy, and often it may seem like the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, but most of it is false advertisement and wrong thinking. And most of the time, if not all of the time, it all leads to emptiness and longing for something that will never satisfy.

How wonderful that we can have the mind of God when we study His word and come to know Him and His ways.

His thoughts and His ways will ALWAYS lead us to ultimate triumph and victory. Knowing Him and walking with Him is more satisfying, fulfilling and thrilling than anything else this world can offer. 

Let’s thank Him today for His grace, mercy and strength that enables us to live a life that honors Him. Let’s live a grateful life.

Blessings,
