Standing on the Promises

“…there hath not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised…”
 (I Kings 8:56)

These words were part of the prayer of Solomon as he prayed his prayer at the dedication of the temple in Jerusalem. When we search the scriptures looking for the promises which God has made, we find our text to be true. God has never broken a promise.

When we near the end of the Bible we find these words: “And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.” (I John 2:25)

Are you going through a difficult time, perhaps a financial struggle, a lingering illness or some other? Remember God’s promise to His children, “…I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” (Hebrews 13:5) An old hymn states, “I’m standing on the promises of God.”

Read God’s word. Look for His promises. Someone said, “You can’t stand on the promises if you don’t know what they are.”
