When I graduated high school, someone gifted me a book of God’s promises. That boom helped me to fall in love with the Bible. I began to dig through God’s Word looking for treasure rather than just reading it as a chore. I’ve found that God has given us precious promises to hold onto when we need hope, strength or courage. When everything else fades away, God’s Word will remain. That means His promises to you and me are good for eternity. Take time to read through these today. They are a list of some of my favorite promises that I hold onto. Which promise in God’s Word is your favorite? It doesn’t have to be in this list.
Here are some of God’s promises.
1. But those who wait for the Lord who expect, look for, and hope in Him shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up close to God as eagles mount up to the sun; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.
Isaiah 40:31 AMP
2. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I’ll listen. When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed. GOD ’s Decree. I’ll turn things around for you… You can count on it.
Jeremiah 29:12-14 MSG
3. Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke and put it on you, and learn from me, because I am gentle and humble in spirit; and you will find rest. For the yoke I will give you is easy, and the load I will put on you is light.
Matthew 11:28-30 GNT
4. Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.
Isaiah 41:10 NLT
5. 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.
Philippians 4:19 NLT
