God’s Faithful Promises

20140516-234344.jpg
Psalm 97:10
“Let those who love the Lord hate evil.
He guards the lives of those who are faithful to Him.
He saves them from the power of sinful people.”

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our Guardian God and have promised in Psalm 121:8 that You will “guard my going out and my coming in from now until forever.”

You have promised in Isaiah 54:17: “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.”

Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd, You promise in John 10:27 that we will be able to hear Thy voice: “My sheep hear My voice and I know them and they follow Me.”

Lord, You promise to give us “eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand. My Father, who gave them to Me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” (John 28-29)

Lord Jesus, You promised that You will never ever reject any soul that comes to You seeking help. (John 6:37) “Those the Father has given me will come to me, and I will never reject them.”

Lord, Your word promises that even though we may have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that You will be right there with us, you will never leave or forsake us.
(Psalm 23:4) Your word even says that we are engraved on the very palms of Thy hands! (Isaiah 49:16)

In the book of Zephaniah 3:17, Lord, Thy word says, “For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With his love, he will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”

Thank You, Lord, for such beautiful promises of Your love and protection.
May we ever thank and praise You for these eternal promises. For, Lord Jesus, You said, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My word will never pass away.”

Lord Jesus ,You are eternally faithful and keep every promise forever! Your last words to Your disciples before You ascended into Heaven were, (Matthew 28:20) “… I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Thank You, Lord, for Your abiding Presence, faithful love, and powerful protection always guarding us. May we trust You more and more as we put our faith and hope in Your holy word which cannot lie. We love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Trusting Trees

Trusting Trees♥️
(Inspired by Jeremiah 17:7-8)

Lord, make me like the tree that grows
By the streams that ever flow;
That are ever bearing fruit
In their season as they should,
Who never drop a single leaf
All because they trust in Thee.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

God’s Strength

God’s Strength
(Inspired by Isaiah 40:28-31
© 2014 S.D. Harden

God strengthens the weak and weary,
Gives hope to those with faith,
And those who trust in Him will run,
They’ll walk and will not faint.

Those who trust in God will soar
On wings as eagles fly;
Jesus will renew their strength
And lift their spirits high.

Even youths get tired
And those who seem so strong
Will one day stumble in their strength,
They’ll stumble, slip, and fall.

Yet those who trust in Jesus
Will regain their strength;
Though they may slip and stumble
They’ll walk again by faith.

Jesus will renew their souls;
He’ll wash away their sins.
He’ll never disappoint the ones
Who put their hope in Him.

His mercy reaches higher
Than a universe of stars,
Those who wait upon the Lord
Will meet Him in their hearts.

Oh have you never known?
Oh have you never heard?
The Everlasting God, The Lord,
The Creator of all the earth
Never faints or stumbles,
He’s ever strong and wise;
His understanding infinite,
And He never, ever lies.

Our God is ever faithful,
To every promise true,
To all who trust in Jesus
Their souls He will renew.

God strengthens the weak and weary,
Gives hope to those with faith,
He’ll never disappoint the soul
Who trusts in Him and waits.

Dear Heavenly Father, may You help us to humbly trust in Your unlimited strength and not in our own limited resources to meet every challenge we face. Your word says, “It’s not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says The Lord of Hosts…” Thank You for Thy grace to patiently wait on You in faith. We love You, Lord.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

God Hears You

20140331-231201.jpg

“I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
and in His word I do hope.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
Psalm 130:5-6 (NKJV)

God Hears You
© 2014 S.D.Harden

God hears you when you cannot speak,
He hears each whispered cry,
He hears when you in secret weep
He hears each longing sigh.

God hears the silent prayers
That form inside as tears,
He hears the prayers you cannot pray,
God understands and hears.

God is listening to your heart
When you feel all alone,
He’s with you in your darkest hour
A light to lead you home.

God knows every thought you think
Before you say a word,
And though you may not cry to Him
Your voice will still be heard.

For God will hear the silent prayers
Of every broken heart,
He’s close to all who are oppressed,
From them He won’t depart.

Wait upon The Lord, oh wait!
And trust that He is near,
Like watchmen for the morning wait,
Oh trust that God will hear.

Trust that God hears every prayer
And there will come a day
When you will see the answer
To every prayer you prayed.

Wait upon The Lord, oh wait
And trust that He will come,
God is listening to your prayers
And answers every one.

God will hear and answer
According to His will,
His love will give us what is best,
Just wait for God, be still.
