OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

Isaiah 66:2

“For all those things My hand has made,

And all those things exist,”

Says the LORD.

“But on this one will I look:

On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,

And who trembles at My word.”

Col. 1:17

 “And He Himself existed and is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]” (amplified version)

Psalm6:9

“The LORD has heard my supplication;

The LORD will receive my prayer.”

Isaiah 58:11

“The LORD will guide you continually,

And satisfy your soul in drought,

And strengthen your bones;

You shall be like a watered garden,

And like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.”

Psalm 16:11

“You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.”

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.

PASTOR SPURGEON:

In the worst of times our great consolation is God.  The very name of our covenant God, “The Lord your God.” Is full of good cheer.  “The Lord your God” is Jehovah, the Self-Existent One, the Unchangeable One, the Ever-Living God, who cannot change or be moved from His everlasting purpose (Hebrews 7:24).

Child of God, whatever you do not have, you have a God in whom you may greatly glory.  Having God, you have more than all things, for all things come from Him.

If everything was blotted out, He would restore it by His will.  He speaks and it is done.  He commands and it does not move.  Blessed are you if the God of Jacob is your help and hope (Ps 146:5). 

The Lord Jehovah is our righteousness and everlasting strength (Isaiah 26:4).  Trust Him forever.  Let the times roll on; they cannot affect our God. 

Let troubles run like a storm they will not come close because He is our defense.  Jehovah is as much your God as if no other person in the universe could use that covenant expression.

All His wisdom, all His foresight, all His power, all His immutability – all of Him is yours!

Let us rejoice in our possession.  Poor as we are, we are infinitely rich in having God.  Weak as we are, there is no limit to our strength since the Almighty Jehovah is ours.

“if God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans 8:31)

Sorrowful one, rejoice!  If God is yours, what more do you need?

He is our God by our own choice of Him, by our union with Christ Jesus, and by our experience of His goodness.  By the spirit of adoption, we cry, “Abba Father” (Romans 8:15).
