OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

  Psalm 37:25

“I have been young, and now am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his descendants begging bread.”  

                                                         1

Romans 8:32

“He that spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?”

I Cor. 10:13 

…God is faithful, who will not let you be tried above what you are able but will….make a way that you will be able to bear it.”

I Samuel 2:9 

“…He will keep the feet of His saints”

IPeter 3:12 

“For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open to their prayers…..”

Psalm 145:15-16

“The eyes of all look expectantly to You,  and You give them their food in due season.   You open Your hand and satisfy the desire of every living thing.”

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:

Being God’s child (which happens when you are born again) has innumerable and joyous privileges.  He said, “Bring out the best robe and put it on him.” (Luke 15:22 relating to the prodigal son).   I will be clothed in the robe of my Savior’s righteousness.  My shoes will be iron and brass (Deuteronomy 33:25), and He will put a gold crown on my head (1Peter 5:4).

Because I am His child, He will feed me; bread will be given, and my water will be sure.  (Isaiah 33:16).

He that feeds the birds will never let His children starve (Matthew 6:26).  If a good farmer feeds the barnyard hens, sheep and cattle, certainly God will not let His children starve.

If my Father clothes the lilies (Matthew 6:28), do you think that He will let me go without clothes?  If He feeds the birds who neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns (Matthew 6:26), do you think that He will let me go hungry?  God forbid!!  My Father knows the things I have need of before I ask Him (Matthew 6:8), and He will give me all I need.

If I’m His child, then I have a place in His heart today, and I will have a share in His house above. “the spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of god, and if children, then heirs –heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed, we suffer with Him that we may also be glorified together.” (Romans 8:16-17).  We are heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ!  All things are ours – the gift of God, the purchase of the Savior’s blood:

“This world is ours, and the worlds to come;

Earth is our lodge, and heaven our home.”
