God's Promise

Greetings!

Let me tell you...praying and focusing on God's promises is powerful. I pray that you embrace God's promises, and claim them as your own. I was reading some of God's promises, and I came across this one in Isaiah that says, "Even to your old age and gray hairs I am He, I am He who will sustain you. I have made you and I will carry you; I will sustain you and I will rescue you." (Isaiah 46:4). Wow! How can we read that and not believe that we have the victory. Nothing can stand in the way of what God has purposed for our lives. He is the Great I AM, and nothing is too hard for Him. The more I meditate on that word, the stronger I feel.

For years, I have tried to make things happen. I really felt like I had to be somebody for God, that He couldn't possibly be pleased with me...not as much as I messed up. But I had it all wrong. I didn't have to BE somebody for God...I AM somebody to God. God loves me...as crazy as I sometimes can be. There is no mistake so big that God can't forgive, and if I didn't know it before this scripture proves it to me now.

The promise I want to focus on this week is the promise that says God will strengthen us. We may feel like our problems or situations are going to overtake us, but if we don't give up...if we hold on to God's promise that He will sustain us...that He will rescue us....then God will use those times to grow us. God uses every opportunity to show us who we can be in Him. We can trust The Creator who created us. He will never relax His hold on us...

Until next time...

Be blessed
