THE PROMISES OF GOD

The Bible is full of God’s promises and it reminds us that He is faithful. When difficult times enter our lives it is always easy to focus on ourselves and on our problems. We also tend to blame God that he has sent us these difficulties. But that is wrong because, “The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.” – Psalm 145:9. King David always prayed, “And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised good things to your servant.” – 2 Samuel 7:28. God always promises to do good to his children. “O taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are those who take refuge in him.” – Psalm 34:8

I WILL ANSWER YOU

Are you in distress? Are you in need of help? Are you in trouble? Then you have a sure solution. The word of God says, “Call to me and I will answer you and I will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.” – Jeremiah 33:3

We run from place to place to get an answer for our problem. We run from person to person to get solace for our pains. We run from religion to religion to know who the true God is. But we do not realize that, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” – Romans 10:13. All those who have called on to God has always received.

GIVE THANKS

“Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One,
Give thanks because he’s given
Jesus Christ, his Son.
And now let the weak say I am strong,
Let the poor say I am weak,
Because of what the Lord has done for us.
Give thanks.”

THE LORD IS MY HELP

Everyone has for sure sometime or the other in their lives needed help. As children we need help to walk, to talk, to eat, to study and so on. As teenagers we need help in our studies, to decide what career to take up, to decide on who will be our life-partner and so on. In our homes or in our work places everyone needs help in some aspect or the other. But through all phases of our lives and at every place and in everything the best help we get is from our Lord Jesus Christ. “I lift up my eyes to the hills – from where will my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” – Psalm 121:1-2

Too many times we can feel helpless and out of control. But we can turn to the one who is fully in control and is absolutely able to help in our times of need. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” – Psalm 46:1

I BELONG TO YOU JESUS

“We do not live to ourselves and we do not die to ourselves. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord; so then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s”. – Romans 14: 7-8. My dear brothers and sisters, we are God’s own. We are children of God. Nothing can separate us from God’s love. We belong to God and we matter to God. “Know that the Lord is God. It is he that made us and we are his; we are his and the sheep of his pasture”. – Psalm 100:3.

God has created human beings in his likeness and in his image to be his own children. That is why he promises us in his word saying, “Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine”. – Isaiah 43:1. Just like a father in the world looks after his children from the time they are born and is there at all times to protect his children from harm, danger and all that can destroy his children; in the same way God is with his children at all times. “See what love the Father has given us that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are”. – John 3:1.
