I'm constantly amazed by how much of what God has done for me, and the access he's given me to wonderful things that I actually have no clue about. And that's simply for the reason that I didn't go searching for it in the Bible.
The awesome promises of God for all of us who believe in Him are right there in His Word; a lot of the time we just don't know because we don't go looking.
Do you know there are some difficulties you don't have to endure, for the simple fact that you're a Christian? A lot of the time, all we really need to do is put pressure on the Word of God to work for us!
God's great promises to you are right there in the Bible, but they won't work in your life unless you do! You are a child of God; a co-heir with Jesus Christ (God's Word says so); you are higher than the angels (as grand as they seem), for Heaven's sake!
"For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son; I have become your Father"?" (Hebrews 1:5)
But look here, in 1 John 3:1, where the Bible says, "How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!"
He calls himself "your heavenly Father" so many times in His Word. God thinks you're so special, He's exempted you from certain hardship - only if you can get your hands on the access code: His Word!
This week, I'm actively searching out and meditating on the promises of God. Here are just a few I've found:
I will not violate my covenant or alter what my lips have uttered. - Psalm 89:34
The things that are impossible with people are possible with God. - Luke 18:27
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you, and I will remove the heart of stone and give you a heart a flesh. - Ezekiel 36:26
He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over us all, how will He not also freely give us things? - Romans 8:32
Since you are precious and honoured in my sight, and because I love you, I will give people in exchange for you; nations in exchange for your life. - Isaiah 43:4
But do these promises belong to all of us, even today? Do they belong to me?
Absolutely.
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all ONE in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise."
I didn't make it up; it says so in Galatians 5:28-29! As long as we believe in Jesus, we are ONE in God's promises - no one is exempted!
So find out what God has promised you today, believe it with all your heart and enjoy the benefits of being God's chosen ones. He never breaks his promises.
