RECOGNIZING AND ACTING UPON GOD’S PROMISES

“HE WILL RESCUE YOU FROM EVERY TRAP AND PROTECT YOU FROM DEADLY DISEASE.” PSALM 91:3

“THE LORD SAYS, ‘ I WILL RESCUE THOSE WHO LOVE ME. I WILL PROTECT THOSE WHO TRUST IN MY NAME.’ ” PSALM 91:14

God’s promises are exclaimed throughout the bible. They are not just idol words on a piece of paper for us to read as we do a library book. God’s Holy Word is the truthful and active word of our Heavenly Father. These words consist, not only of his promises, but also of his directions and his plans for our lives. Psalm 91 is full of his promises. It is important that as we read his Word, we are able to recognize his promises and then act upon them. He tells us that he must be our refuge and our safety net. We must be able to trust in his holy name. We must go to him in all situations. Our faith must be so strong and our trust so great that he is the one we go to, for not only answers to prayer, but also to be safe from all of the attacks we encounter every day. We must continue to build upon our faith. A part of that building process is stepping out in our Lord’s promises and believing we receive. Pray and speak his promises. Let them soak in everyday. Keep your focus on the end result and not the things happening around you. Our God loves us. He has given us his promises, of which he never fails, to help us live a joyful and fruitful life here on earth. We must, however, believe and act upon each one. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
