OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

“as His divine power HAS GIVEN to us ALL THINGS that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,”

2 Corinthians 9:8

“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.”

 “And I will betroth you  unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth you unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.”

John 14:21

 “He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest (reveal) myself to him.”

This month we will read choices from Charles Spurgeon’s (known affectionately as the “prince of preachers”)  devotional, “Beside Still Waters.” It’s no secret that this world system is getting more evil by the day.  We have to stand strong in the Lord and look to Him more than ever to get through, and to be guided through, what is in the future……..known and allowed  by Him alone…..as well as whatever personal things we are experiencing in our lives.

Do you want more faith, more love, more holiness, and more fellowship with your Savior?  Beloved, the Lord is your Shepherd (Ps 23:1).  He will give you these blessings if you just ask.  But He often answers in an unexpected manner.  Many of God’s answers come in black-edged envelopes.  Yet, remember this, they WILL COME.

If you want peace, joy, and sanctification, they will be given because God has promised them.  The Lord is your Shepherd, and you shall not want.

I often think of that great promise – I do not know where there is a larger one – that “no good thing will He withhold from those that walk uprightly.” (Ps 84:11).  “NO GOOD THING!”  It is a mercy that the word “good” is there.  If it had said, “He will withhold nothing,” we might ask for many things that would be bad for us.  But it says, “No good thing!”

Spiritual mercies are good.  They are more than good.  They are the best, and you may well ask for them.  If no good thing will be withheld, certainly the best things will be given.

Ask, then, Christian, for He is your Shepherd, and you will not want.  He will supply your need.  He will give you whatever you require. Ask in faith, never doubting, (James 1:6) and He will give you what you really need.
