"...what greater rebellion...or insult to God can there be, than not to believe His promises?" Martin Luther in Concerning Christian Liberty
I read this statement last week and have been considering it ever since. Do I really take God at His word?
I decided to study the promises of God during my daily devotions. It's a joy to search the Bible for promises that God has made. One that has been an encouragement already is found in Psalm 84:11c, "No good thing will He withhold from them that walk uprightly." It reminds me that as I'm seeking to follow the Lord, He will not withhold from me anything that is for my good.
What's one of God's promises that's special to you?
oh what a lovely picture!
ReplyDelete1 peter 5:6-7
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. "
Him caring for me, knowing that someone truly cares, is so important.
Oh, yes, that's a wonderful promise - knowing that He cares for me!!
DeleteThat's a great quote from Martin Luther!
ReplyDeleteI like the promise where God says that if we ask for bread, He won't give us a stone.
Yes; it's another reminder that He only wants good things for us!
DeleteI've heard that quote before, but today I stopped and re-read it. What power is in those words!
