3. Remember God's Promises

 Genesis 8-11 

And God said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: And I will remember my covenant which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. Genesis 9:12-16 

Out of the thousands of promises in God’s word, most are conditional and most we have to take by faith. This promise stood out to me because it’s an everlasting covenant that is not dependent on what we do! Not to mention, it’s one promise that has a physical sign attached to it! When we see a rainbow, we remember God’s promise to never flood the world again. But guess what? So does God! Every time a rainbow appears, God also sees it and remembers his promise! Isn’t that so awesome?! When we see a rainbow, let’s remember not only this promise, but all the others God has given!

God's Vessel

  God's Vessel by Ruth Navis I am God's precious vessel, He's molding me of clay; To work and serve, and love, and be with Him one day. He gently forms and fashions me to make me what I ought to be, But then someone acts carelessly and breaks this work of clay. All anyone can see are the pieces on the floor; They laugh and poke their fun at me, and walk right out the door. I look to God in my brokenness and for help and mercy cry; I'm all alone, broken pieces of stone that everyone's left behind. I'm broken, bruised, and battered, but no one seems to care; Then God above looks down in love, and shows me He is there. He picks up all the pieces, he takes them one by one; He glues them back together, until His work is done. Now when people look at me, they can see all my scars. They think that they are all my fault, that I've earned them, missed the bar. So they continue to pick on me, because now I'm no longer pretty, I cry out to God helplessly, and hope ...

72. God Does All Things For Our Good

Deuteronomy 5-7 O that there were such an hear in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, and it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!    Deuteronomy 5:29 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.    Deuteronomy 6:24 God made it clear, and the children of Israel understood that all the commandments that God had given them were for their good and because God loved them. When there are things that God convicts you of, or rules applicable to you from His word, what is your response? Do you understand that He loves you and wants only the best for you? Or do you choose to think He doesn't know what He's doing and wants to keep you from having fun or enjoying life? The rules and the commandments God gives us and the guidelines and boundaries He puts in place is for our good. Will you choose just to trust and ...

True repentance?

  Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, Intreat the LORD, that he may take away the frogs from me, and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may do sacrifice unto the LORD.     And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; intreat for me.    Exodus 8:8, 28 And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: the LORD is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.      Intreat the LORD (for it is enough) that there be no more mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer. Exodus 9:27-28 And Moses and Aaron were brought again unto Pharaoh: and he said unto them, Go, serve the LORD your God: but who are they that shall go?      And he said unto them, Let the LORD be so with you, as I will let you go, and your little ones: look to it; for e...
