How many times have I made a promise to someone, and then broken it? It’s usually not for selfish reasons, or lack of motivation, that I break my promises. I’m just a people pleaser…. so I have the unfortunate tendency to promise someone that I’ll do something and then I fall short of the ability to complete the task.  I meant to do it… I just couldn’t. I’m so grateful that our God has not only made numerous promises to us… but He has the ability to hold true to His Word… and He has a track record to prove that He’s trustworthy to do what He says He will do.

So what is it that you need?

Are you worn out? God promises rest!
“Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” ~Matt 11:28

Do you feel defeated? God promises victory!
“No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.” ~Romans 8:37

Are you nervous or anxious? God promises peace!
“But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.” ~Proverbs 1:33

Are you confused, unsure, not knowing which way to go? God gives us direction!
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you and watch over you.” ~Psalm 32:8

Are you searching for God? He promises you’ll find Him!
“I love those who love me, and those who seek me find me.” ~Proverbs 8:17

There are so many more promises from God. Some sources say there are over 3,000 promises in the Bible! No matter what problem you are currently facing, God has a solution. And He promises that He will do what He says He will do! How awesome is our God?!?! I’ve started a Promises journal, recording every verse I find that God promises something to me and I would encourage you to do the same. When circumstances surround you that seem bleak, there’s nothing more comforting than to read a written promise to you from the King.
