God has Promised: God’s Strength

God has Promised: God’s Strength
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

As your days, so shall your strength be. “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, Who rides the heavens to help you, And in His excellency on the clouds. The eternal God is your refuge, And underneath are the everlasting arms; He will thrust out the enemy from before you.” (Deuteronomy 33:25-27 NKJV).

 

Both riches and honor come from You, and You reign over all. In Your hands are power and might; in Your hands it is to make great and to give strength to all (1 Chronicles 29:12 AMP).

 

The LORD will give strength to His people (Psalm 29:11 NKJV).

 

He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams (Psalm 23:2 NLT).

 

God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear (Psalm 46:1-2 NKJV).

 

My soul, wait silently for God alone, For my expectation is from Him. He only is my rock and my salvation; He is my defense; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in God. Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us (Psalm 62:5-8 NKJV).

 

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness (Isaiah 41:10 KJV).

 

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me! (2 Corinthians 12:9 AMP).

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10 NKJV).

God has Promised: God’s Victory

God has Promised: God’s Victory
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all (1 Chronicles 29:11 AMP).

 

For You are my hiding place; You protect me from trouble. You surround me with songs of victory (Psalm 32:7 NLT).

 

How the king rejoices in Your strength, O LORD! He shouts with joy because You give him victory. For You have given him his heart’s desire; You have withheld nothing he requested. You welcomed him back with success and prosperity. You placed a crown of finest gold on his head. He asked You to preserve his life, and You granted his request. The days of his life stretch on forever (Psalm 21:1-4 NLT).

 

The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance and victory are of the Lord (Proverbs 21:31 AMP).

 

You are my King, O God; Command victories for Jacob. Through You we will push down our enemies; Through Your name we will trample those who rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, Nor shall my sword save me. But You have saved us from our enemies (Psalm 44:4-7 NKJV).

 

As for me, I will call upon God, and the Lord will save me. Evening and morning and at noon will I utter my complaint and moan and sigh, and He will hear my voice. He has redeemed my life in peace from the battle that was against me [so that none came near me], for they were many who strove with me (Psalm 55:16-18 AMP).

 

Then all this assembly shall know that the LORD does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is the LORD’S, and He will give you into our hands (1 Samuel 17:47 NKJV).

 

But no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment you shall show to be in the wrong. This [peace, righteousness, security, triumph over opposition] is the heritage of the servants of the Lord [those in whom the ideal Servant of the Lord is reproduced]; this is the righteousness or the vindication which they obtain from me [this is that which I impart to them as their justification], says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17 AMP).

 

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57 NKJV).

God has Promised: God’s Deliverance

God has Promised: God’s Deliverance
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies (2 Samuel 22:2-4 NKJV).

 

He sent from above, He took me;
He drew me out of many waters.
He delivered me from my strong enemy,
From those who hated me,
For they were too strong for me.
He also brought me out into a broad place;
He delivered me because He delighted in me.
(Psalm 18:16-19 NKJV)

 

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle (Psalm 24:8 NKJV).

 

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers. O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him (Psalm 34:6-8 AMP).

In You, O LORD, I put my trust; Let me never be put to shame. Deliver me in Your righteousness, and cause me to escape; Incline Your ear to me, and save me. Be my strong refuge, To which I may resort continually; You have given the commandment to save me, For You are my rock and fortress (Psalm 71:1-3 NKJV).

 

I removed his shoulder from the burden;…You called in trouble, and I delivered you (Psalm 81:6, 7 NKJV).

 

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, For there were many against me (Psalm 55:18 NKJV).

 

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation (Psalm 91:15-16 NKJV).

 

Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; He will come and save you (Isaiah 35:3-4 KJV).

God has Promised: God’s Peace

God has Promised: God’s Peace
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

The LORD will give strength to His people; The LORD will bless His people with peace (Psalm 29:11 NKJV).

 

He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me,
For there were many against me (Psalm 55:18 NKJV).

 

I create the fruit of the lips; Peace, peace to him that is far off, and to him that is near, saith the LORD, and I will heal him (Isaiah 57:19 KJV).

 

Great peace have those who love Your law, And nothing causes them to stumble (Psalm 119:165 NKJV).

 

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gently and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV).

 

Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Because of our faith, Christ has brought us into this place of undeserved privilege where we now stand, and we confidently and joyfully look forward to sharing God’s glory (Romans 5:1-2 NLT).

 

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33 NKJV).

 

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7 NLT).

 

And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful (Colossians 3:15 NKJV).

God has Promised: God’s Help

God has Promised: God’s Help
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

 

Many are saying of me, there is no help for him in God. But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory, and the lifter of my head (Psalm 3:2-3 AMP).

 

The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For you, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You (Psalm 9:9-10 NKJV).

 

May the name of the God of Jacob defend you; May He send you help from the sanctuary, and strengthen you out of Zion (Psalm 20:1-2 NKJV).

 

The LORD is my strength and shield, I trust Him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving (Psalm 28:7 NLT).

 

Commit everything you do to the LORD. Trust Him, and He will help you (Psalm 37:5 NLT).

 

But God is my helper. The Lord keeps me alive! For You have rescued me from my troubles and helped me to triumph over my enemies (Psalm 54:4, 7 NLT).

 

What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You. By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear. What can man, who is flesh, do to me? (Psalm 56:3-4 AMP).

 

I am poor and needy; Make haste to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay (Psalm 70:5 NKJV).

 

The LORD is righteous in everything He does; He is filled with kindness. The LORD is close to all who call on Him, yes, to all who call on Him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear Him; He hears their cries for help and rescues them (Psalm 145:17-19 NLT).

 

For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee (Isaiah 41:13 KJV).

God has Promised: God's Care

God has Promised: God’s Care
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Scriptures of comfort and hope for difficult times: 

I will be glad and rejoice in Your unfailing love, for You have seen my troubles, and You care about the anguish of my soil. You have not handed me over to my enemies but have set me in a safe place (Psalm 31:7-8 NLT).

 

For the strength of the wicked will be shattered, but the LORD takes care of the godly (Psalm 37:17 NLT).

 

Give your burdens to the LORD, and He will take care of you. He will not permit the godly to slip and fall (Psalm 55:22 NLT).

 

Answer my prayers, O LORD, for Your unfailing love is wonderful. Take care of me, for Your mercy is so plentiful (Psalm 69:16 NLT).

 

[God] led His own people forth like sheep and guided them [with a shepherd’s care] like a flock in the wilderness (Psalm 78:52 AMP).

 

Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of My hands (Isaiah 49:15-16 NLT).

 

Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully (1 Peter 5-7 AMP).

 

The LORD values those who fear Him, those who put their hope in His faithful love (Psalm 147:11 HCSB).

God Has Promised: God’s Grace

God Has Promised: God’s Grace

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

For the LORD God is a sun and shield;

The LORD will give grace and glory;

No good thing will He withhold

From those who walk uprightly.

(Psalm 84:11 NKJV)

He giveth grace unto the lowly (Proverbs 3:34 KJV).

And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace (John 1:16 NKJV).

And the God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you (Romans 16:20 NKJV).

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich (2 Corinthians 8:9 NKJV).

And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work (2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJV).

And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 NKJV).

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:14-15 NKJV).

God has Promised: God’s Covering

God has Promised: God’s Covering
-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

It is important to know what God has promised, so we can know what our hearts need to believe. Here is a special collection of God's promises to bring you hope and encouragement in time of need. These promises are arranged into topics that focus on specific needs in our lives. We pray that you will be blessed as we share His promises on the next several Fridays, to feed upon them, believe in them, and receive them into your heart.

When I discovered Your words, I devoured them. They are my joy and my heart's delight, for I bear Your name, O LORD God of Heaven's Armies. (Jeremiah 15:16 NLT)
-Roy

 

But let all those who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice; let them ever sing and shout for joy, because You make a covering over them and defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You and be in high spirits (Psalm 5:11 AMP).

 

Keep me as the apple of Your eye; Hide me under the shadow of Your wings (Psalm 17:8 NKJV).

 

For He will conceal me in His shelter in the day of adversity; He will hide me under the cover of His tent; He will set me high on a rock (Psalm 27:5 HCSB).

 

How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God! Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings (Psalm 36:7 NKJV).

 

He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler (Psalm 91:4 NKJV).

 

I will abide in Your tabernacle forever; I will trust in the shelter of Your wings (Psalm 61:4 NKJV).

 

Because You have been my help, Therefore in the shadow of Your wings I will rejoice (Psalm 63:7 NKJV).

 

Be merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me: for my soul trusteth in Thee: yea, in the shadow of Thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast (Psalm 57:1 KJV).
