Significance Reinstated (Jan 6)
Dear Friends,
We have completed two months
of devotion on God’s Promises,
following three earlier series on
Adoring God thro Thanksgiving,
Knowing God’s thro His Names
and Praising God thro Hymns.
Before continuing in the series,
let’s pause to note the significance
of Imploring God on His Promises.
There are so much to pray about:
our dreams, hopes and plans.
But often we are held up by our
own doubts: Does God really
care about this request of ours?
How assuring to pray back to God
the promises found in His Word.
Then we no longer wonder if this
is something God cares about,for
He brought it up in the 1st place.
As we pray God’s promises, note
the starting point is His nature:
That the Lord is trustworthy
in all He promises (Psa 145:13).
Each time God reveals His nature,
He is promising us that He will be
true to that nature in any situation.
And His promises are rock solid
for His nature stands behind them.
But we should note praying God’s
Promises is not a magic formula.
Although scripture tells us
fervent prayers are effective,
we must always trust God to
work it In His Way & In His Time.
We must Be Patient, Wait upon
the Lord and Keep Trusting that
His promises will come true!
Dear Almighty & All-Loving God,
I pray even as Yr People meditate
on Your Scriptural Promises:
That Your Spirit minister to their
soul and Will Comfort them;
That they Will Experience the
blessings of a praying life; and
That their faith Will Arise so that
they Will Trust U more and more.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
