Trusting God Through His Promises

Over the last one month, we have
been meditating on the theme:
Trusting God thru His Promises.
We know the importance of prayer
in our lives; and there are so much
to pray about for ourselves and
for others: dreams, hopes & plans.
But often we are held up by doubts:
Does God care about our requests?
How valuable then it is to pray back
to God the very promises found
in His Word. When we speak God’s
very words back to Him, we no
longer wonder if this is something
God cares about, for He brought
it up in the very first place.

Lord, each time when You reveal
something of Your nature, You are
promising us that You will be true
to that nature in any circumstance.
We know by promising and then
performing what U promised, You’ll
awaken in us expectation & desire
and find outlets in prayer of faith.
Praise You that Your promises are
rock solid; and that Your very nature
and character stand behind them.
Grant us faith not only to merely
believe Your Word but also to act
on it. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

We are meditating through the Bible,
which is organised by genres:
Laws, History, Poetry and Prophets…
Before we continue into History,
for variety sake we will have
the first Gospel interlude in Mark.
But here’s the key thots from Laws;
which encourage us as we see
promises being fulfilled in its time.
J8: God Can Do Anything(Gen 17/18)
J15: God Gives Strength (Ex 14/15)
J22: God Cares for Weary (Num 11)
J29: God Restores His Pple (Dt 30)

God Restores His People

Moses has come to the climax
in his address to the nation –
the time for a recommitment
of the people to the covenant.
He reminds the new generation
that the potential for God’s richest
blessing awaits them as well as
potential for judgment. It depends
on their submissive response to
the demands of the covenant.
Dramatically Moses delivers the
challenge: I have set before you
life and death… choose life.

Return to the Lord your God
and Obey His voice (Deut 30:2).
God Will Restore everything u lost;
He will have compassion on you;
He will come back and Pick Up
the pieces from all the places
where you were scattered.
No matter how far away u end up,
God, your God, will get you out of
there & bring you back to the land
your ancestors once possessed.
It will be Yours Again (Deut 30:3-5).
And the Lord your God
will circumcise your heart…
to love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with
all your soul that you may live (v6).

Lord, thank you that even if I were
to fall off the path You have for me
to walk, You will always be there
to Lift Me Up when I repent of sins.
Thank You that even if I sink into
darkness, You will be my light.
Thank You Gracious Lord for
Your compassion for You not only
forgive but you will also Restore.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.

Lord, thank You that it is never
too late to turn to You and see
Restoration happen in our life.
Even though there has been time
wasted when we didn’t live fully
for U, pray that U Will Redeem the
time and help us to make up for it.
Restore everything that has been
lost, wasted or ruined so that
we can give You the glory. Amen.

Lord, thanks for the compassionate
Love towards us and for promising
You Restore everything that’s lost.
I look to You, Lord Your love that
never ends RESTORES me again!
So I lift my eyes to you Lord
In your strength will I break
through Lord; Touch me now,
let your love fall down on me
I know your love dispels all my fears
Thro the storm I will hold on Lord
And by faith I will walk on Lord
And I’ll see beyond my calvary 1 day
And I will be Complete in You. Amen.

Trusting God thru His Promises

The purpose of Deuteronomy is
to remind the people of what God
had done and encourage them
to rededicate their lives to Him.
On Monday, we learn from Deut 2
to Trust God for His Provision.
On Tuesday, we learn from
Deut 7 to Trust the Faithful God.
On Wednesday, we learn fr Deut 8
that God is the Source of Well Being.
On Thursday, we learn from Deut 26
that God Answers & Blesses Us.
On Friday, we learn from Deut 30
that God Restores His People.
On Sat, we learn from Deut 31/33

Let us humble ourselves and pray
and seek His face. Help us O God
be Christ’s disciples who purpose
to trust our almighty and caring
God for our provision, guidance,
protection and restoration for He is
faithful & blesses His people. Amen.
