Last Tues August 28th, this gorgeous rainbow over Juvenile Hall reminded me of God's Promises after i spent the prior hour reminding the incarcerated youth.They have a difficult time trusting other people because most of their lives were crushed by broken promises & no steady foundation to rely on.(God knew i also needed the BIG reminder up in the sky that evening!)
We have ALL broken a promise to someone before, even if our intentions were to follow it through. We have ALL had other people break their promises to us, causing disappointment & mistrust.
I have encouraging news for you &I!!! God NEVER breaks His promises to us!! He is ALWAYS a Man of His Word.He paints a majestic RAINBOW in the sky as a constant reminder of this. The following are just a few of the many promises He has for those who have FAITH & BELIEVE in Him:
Hebrews 13:5
"I will never leave you nor forsake you. "
Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
Matthew 11:28-29
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."Isaiah 40:29-31
"He gives power to the weak
and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint."
Philippians 4:19
"And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus."
Romans 8:37-39
"No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Proverbs 1:33
"But all who listen to me will live in peace,
untroubled by fear of harm.”
John 14:27
“I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.
Romans 10:9
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 6:23
"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord."
John 4:13, 14
"Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life."
John 10:27-30
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one."
Matthew 7:7,8
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
***These PROMISES we can TRUST & plant our HOPE in. This doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of ALL of God's Promises He gives us, but i pray that it encourages you!***
God promises to provide for His children, and He has definitely PROVIDED for me & continues to leave me in awe. He is TRUST WORTHY!
Matthew 6:33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
Love in Christ,
