A friend of mine from church brought me this book. It is Promises From God for Women. I picked it up this morning at read the Intoduction and thought that it was so good, I needed to share it..
Blessed is the Man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is in the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7, nkjv
We are bombarded with promises= promises of beauty, popularity, wealth and fame. But most of the world's promises are empty- just glitzy advertisinf that fails to live up to its promises. And so we become cynical and feel that it might be "safer" to live without hope. Failure to live up to expectations-our own and others'- surrounds us on everey side. And we wonder if there is anyone that we can trust completely.
Then we turn to the bible and find that it offers a higher hope: the ability to endure the difficult days we face, and the promise of a life filled with God's presence, now and forever. As we focus on the promises of God, we find a hope that sustains us, and a peace that passes all understanding. God is faithful to His word even when we lose heart. Let the Promises of God fill your heart with joy and your mouth with praise, today and always.
Dear Lord,
Thank you so much for providing us with the hope of a futute with you. Lord help me as well as everyone else to focus on you today, and to place our trust in you. You are mighty and we Love you.
Amen
