HIS PROMISES R MINE

 

i believe God keeps his promises!

from Springs in the Valley by L. B. Cowman


in my church family these past few months, many of us have struggled with various things physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally. prayers have gone up to our Lord. some answers have come quickly while others r still waiting. some r having to walk thru the fire becuz God is doin' a work within. i do not understand y some walk thru a shorter time in the fire than others fully yet. but being one that is in the fire now has helped me see y a bit more clearly.

my pastor has wisdomgiven by walking thru the fire, not avoiding it. our whole church is watching him walk thru something right with his wife that has got to be one of the most difficult he has walked. but not once have i seen him remove his feet from the Rock he stands on. and i have witnessed his wife become even more adamant about standing her ground.

my pastor continually encourages all of us to stand firm and make ALL God's promises ours by putting our names to them. i have done this many times. and i can tell u that is how i now live each day. when i pray, i pray God's Word so those i am prayin' for will be changed the way only God can do. my faith has become more solidified becuz of the examples i have seen.

i am surrounded by people that believe like me. it is my choice to walk out a deep faith in my God. so much of who i am and who i am becoming is rooted in God being God to me. so as i walk great adventure of God's AMAZING GRACE, i live life more freely.. every struggle i get the victory over makes me stronger. i am a chosen vessel God wants to use becuz he knows me.

begin taking God at his word in every area of life and see what happens. be honest with yourself and him. he already knows and still chooses to love ya and work with ya. once u realize that God isn't gonna give up on ya, life begins to be worth livin'. it's ok to go for what is inside so u can be u.

GOD IS FAITHFUL! he will see us thru all that we face head on no matter how long it takes.

Daddy, thank u for seein' me thru today.
