Ever questioned god's promises?? Ever in a situation where you believe god has given you a promise and the waiting makes you question is it is true?
We know the truth that our god is faithful and his ways are perfect, his word speaks it. But, we run into circumstances that makes it hard for us to hold on but the fact is that all we can and need to do is to HOLD on TO JESUS. His word is full of his promises: promise to never leave us nor forsake us, to be our Jehovah Jireh... When we look to him, he gives us STRENGTH TO BELIEVE.
We see Abraham in the Old testament, God loved him and shared everything with him that's how strong Abraham's relationship was with the lord. God gave him a promise, made a covenant with him,Genesis 15:18 and Abraham believed. The Lord encouraged Abraham, in Genesis 17, he spoke that he will confirm and establish the covenant through Isaac.
Even though Abraham's old age wouldn't allow his to bear children, he BELIEVED in what the lord had promised. Romans 4:18-21
" Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, “So shall your offspring be.”[d] 19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah’s womb was also dead. 20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, 21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised."
If we continue reading in Genesis 18, the Lord repeats his promise to Abraham, giving him assurance and which Abraham held on to without wavering and questioning. Moving on to Genesis 21:1 where it says the Lord did what he had promised....
Isn't it amazing that our Lord is a promise keeping god who never changes, he is the same yesterday today and forever. This is just one illustration of our faithful lord and there are many more that each of us can recollect especially when its hard to believe.
This is a reminder for me also, to trust in him and his promises.. an amazing way to hold on.. like Beth Moore does is:
Praying boldly
Praying god's word and his promises (that is powerful which I need to learn..)
This reminds me of this song I heard on 105.7 FM, "All your promises are true"
"When the new day begins
Lord, Your mercies are new again
How my heart overflows with thanks to my King
When the night closes in
I'm so grateful You are my Friend
You said that You'd never leave
and Lord I believe -- Lord, I believe
All your promises are true
I will lift up my eyes to You
For You're all that I need
And by faith I receive
the wonderful things You will do.
All your promises are true;
I will lift up my eyes to You.
When my heart starts to fail,
Lord, Your strength will prevail,
And all You have said You will do
Your promises are true
When the new day begins
Lord, Your mercies are new again
How my heart overflows with thanks to my King
When the night closes in
I'm so grateful You are my Friend
You said that You'd never leave
and Lord I believe -- Lord, I believe
All your promises are true
I will lift up my eyes to You
For You're all that I need
And by faith I receive
the wonderful things You will do.
All your promises are true;
I will lift up my eyes to You.
When my heart starts to fail,
Lord, Your strength will prevail,
And all You have said You will do
Your promises are true
They are comfort and healing
Strength for the journey
Hope for the hopeless
Gladness for mourning
Life and salvation
Power and victory
Lord, I believe, Lord I believe
They are comfort and healing
Strength for the journey
Hope for the hopeless
Gladness for mourning
Life and salvation
Power and victory
Lord, I believe, Lord I believe
All your promises are true
I will lift up my eyes to You
For You're all that I need
And by faith I receive
the wonderful things You will do.
All your promises are true;
I will lift up my eyes to You.
When my heart starts to fail,
Lord, Your strength will prevail,
And all You have said You will do...(I know You will do)

I will lift up my eyes to You
For You're all that I need
And by faith I receive
the wonderful things You will do. (I know You do)
All your promises are true;
I will lift up my eyes to You.
When my heart starts to fail,
Lord, Your strength will prevail,
And all You have said You will do
Your promises are true...(Your promises are true)
Your promises are true...(Oh, I know they're true)
Your promises are true...(I believe, O Lord)
Your promises are true "
