OUR PERSONAL PROMISES

2 Cor 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.”

AMPLIFIED VERSION:

“And God is able to make ALL grace [every favor and earthly blessing] come in ABUNDANCE to you, so that you may ALWAYS [under all circumstances, regardless of the need] have COMPLETE SUFFICIENCY  IN EVERYTHING  [being completely self-sufficient in Him], and have an ABUNDANCE  for EVERY  good work and act of charity.”

Is 40:29

“He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.”

Ephes 2:10

 “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”

Ps 94:19 

“ When anxious thoughts multiply within me, Your comforts delight me.”    

Ps 34:4

“I sought the Lord and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.”

 Ps 138:8  

“The Lord will accomplish that which  concerns me…”      

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:

The Lord has laid my burdens on me, and I sometimes grow weary.  Then the Holy Spirit leads me to understand that I can do nothing by myself.  All I have to be is God’s obedient servant, His ready instrument, and then I can leave every care with Him.

Then peace returns and my thoughts become free and vigorous.  My soul throws its burdens aside; runs without weariness and walks without fainting.

I am sure that life will break you unless you learn the habit of leaning on Jesus.  Do not be afraid to lean too much.  There has never been a saint blamed for possessing too much faith.  There has never been a child of God scolded by the Divine Father for having placed too implicit a reliance on His promise.

The Lord has said, “As your days, so shall your strength be.” (Deuteronomy 33:25).  He has promised, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5).  He has told you, “consider the ravens …which have neither storehouse nor barn:  and God feeds them.” (Luke 12:24)  He has asked, “Why do you worry about clothing?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith.?  (Matthew 6:28-30.)

Give your cares to Him who cares for the ravens and for flowers of the field.  Rest assured that He will also care for you.
