New Year's Resolution
I've never been one to make "new year's resolutions." But as we have entered this new year, I've felt the Lord reminding me of His promises. They are firm and sure year after year - unchanging - always true - always available. They are God's "resolutions" to us. In the NEW year, the OLD promises are what we can hold onto! Here are just a few of my favorites:
"Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20 One version says "until the end of the world."
"God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure." 1 Corinthians 10:13 He never allows more to come our way than we can handle and endure with His grace and help.
"We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28
"But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 Corinthians 12:9
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Lamentations 3:22,23
"The joy of the Lord is my strength." Nehemiah 8:10
"I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11
"The Lord is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through ALL generations." Psalm 100:5
"The Lord is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him." Nahum 1:7
"Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed." Isaiah 54:10 Through wildfires, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, whatever comes our way - He is our sure steady helper!
The list of promises is ENDLESS!!! I could go on and on. Whenever I'm facing something that is too much for me - taking a few minutes to sit and meditate on God's incredible promises gives me fresh courage to persevere. He is so very faithful!
