GOD’S ALPHABET PROMISES 1/2
Part one of two
Deuteronomy 26:19
“He has declared that He will set you in praise, fame, and honor high above all the nations He has made and that you will be a people holy to the Lord your God, as He promised.”
In God is God & We’re Not devotion, we learned that our Almighty Father understands His kids’ weaknesses. We don’t always believe another’s promise to us. It’s often necessary to swear by someone, (or something), or pledge an oath before others believe promises made. But we’re mere mortal humans.
Our Creator has no such problem. And yet, He swears by Himself (there’s nothing greater) to guarantee that we can believe His promises! Wouldn’t you agree that He goes to great lengths to win our love? Check out the below for half the alphabet list of God’s promises.
Approach. Ephesians 3:12 promises: “In Him and through faith in Him we may approach God in freedom and confidence.”
Beloved. Deuteronomy 33:12 promises: “Let the beloved of the Lord rest secure in Him, for He shields him all day long, and the one the Lord loves rests between His shoulders.”
Called. 1Corinthians 7:15b promises: “God has called us to live in peace.”
Day. Deuteronomy 26:18 promises: “The Lord has declared this day that you are His people, His treasured possession as He promised…”
Enjoyment. 1Timothy 6:17 promises: “[Command those…to] put their hope in God, Who richly provides everything for our enjoyment.”
Future. Romans 8:38-39 promises: “[For I am convinced that] neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else is all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Glorified. Romans 8:30 promises “those He justified, He also glorified.”
Heavenly. 2Timothy 4:18 promises: “The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom.”
Interceding. Romans 8:34 promises: “Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus—Who died—more than that Who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.”
Justified. Romans 8:30 promises: “those He called, He also justified,”
Knock. Matthew 7:7 promises: “Ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you.”
Leads. Psalm 23:2 promises: “He leads me to quiet waters.”
Mercy. 1Peter 1:3 guarantees: “In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…”
