Thankful Thursday

A thankful hought for Thursday...

Psalm 119:49-50 "Remember your word to your servant, in which you have made me hope.
This is my comfort in my affliction, that your promise gives me life."

What happiness for Christians to know all of God's promises to us. I have made a list of some of "my favorite" promises:

- The promise that Jesus will return for his bride. That this current world and it's troubles will fade away and we will forever be in His presence rejoicing and praising Him.

- John 14:1-3 "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

2 Samuel 2:22 "The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer.:

He promises to stand beside and protect and keep me safely in his loving arms as I go through my days.

Luke 1:37 "For nothing is impossible with God."

Psalm 3:3 "That He is the lifter of my head."

That His Word is truth. That if I keep my eyes on Him throughout this life, I will one day see Him.

Isaiah 49:16 "I will not forget you! See, I have engraved you in the palm of MY hands..."

And the old hymn...

Standing on the Promises of God

Standing on the promises of Christ my King
Through eternal ages let His praises ring
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing
Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living Word of God I shall prevail
Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free
Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord
Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword
Standing on the promises of God

Standing on the promises I cannot fall
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all
Standing on the promises of God
