God Has Promised (Part 2)

Pray the promises: In addition to the importance of knowing God’s promises is the importance of praying His promises. When we buy a car we are also given a key. Without the key the car just sits. Even when we insert the key, we still must turn the key to get things moving. Prayer is like turning the key, it puts His promises into motion (Luke 11:9–13).

All of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for His glory (2 Corinthians 1:20 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Thank You, Father, for Your Word that reminds me of Your promises to me and all whom You love. Thank You for the "key" to these promises, our prayers! Help me to remember that You love to hear from me, and that You are always waiting to hear from me. Whether I have requests, or am praying Your promises, let me prioritize my time of speaking and listening to You. Help me to pray before I act on my own. Help me to trust You with every aspect of my life, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I love You and want to live a life pleasing to You in every way. Change me, change me, change me! Make me to be more like You. In Jesus's name, amen.

Some things are for now.
Some things are for later.
We need to be faithful in what is before us now.
We need to be patient for what is yet to come.
 
You, too, must be patient. Take courage, for the coming of the Lord is near (James 5:8 NLT).

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount was spoken to a multitude (Matthew 5).
 
His message about living water was spoken to only one person at a well (John 4).
 
His message about being born again was also spoken to only one person at night (John 3).
 
The greatest Bible class ever taught was given by Jesus to only two men He had encountered on a dusty road (Luke 24).
 
Jesus talking with Moses and Elijah on a mountain top was only witnessed by three disciples (Mark 9).
 
When God gives you something to say or do—whether it be to a multitude, to one person, or to any number in-between…
Do it. Say it. 
Fully. Faithfully. 
It counts! It’s important! It matters! 
 
Even the things that go unseen or unknown by others, will always be seen and known by a divine audience. 
 
Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful (1 Corinthians 4:2 NIV).

God Has Promised, Part 1

Know the promises: God has spoken promises to us. Those promises are recorded in Scripture so we can know what is in His heart toward us. His promises will keep us from praying amiss. His promises are not fleeting words of emotion, they are words of truth. Without the truth of His promises we could be overcome with superstition, timidity, and anxiety. It is because of His promises that we can live a life of freedom, confidence, and contentment.

Because of His glory and excellence, He has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share His divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires (2 Peter 1:4 NLT).

My Morning Prayer
-Marina Bromley

Good morning, God. Thank You for Your promises, so boldly written in Your Word, the Bible. Thank You that I can know Your heart towards me and all people. Thank You that we can know Your promises, and can pray them for protection against being overcome from superstition, timidity, and anxiety. It is because of Your promises that we can live a life of freedom, confidence, and contentment every day with You! Write Your promises upon my heart! In Jesus's name, amen.

In everything,
God can do anything…
But, one thing He cannot do,
is fail.
 
I will not…allow My faithfulness to fail (Psalm 89:33 NKJV).
