Think about this.
We do not live by our place, we live by our promise.
If the place I’m in screams LACK, I live by the promise of “…God… will supply all [my] needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.” (Phil. 4:19, NLT)
If the place I am in screams TERRIFYING, I live by the promise of… “Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; But it shall not come near you.” (Psalm 91:3-7, NKJV)
If the place I am in screams ABANDONED, I live by the promise of… “Even if my father and mother abandon me, the Lord will hold me close.” (Psalm 27:10, NLT) and “Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.” (Deut. 31:8, NLT)
If the place I am in screams FEAR, I live by the promise of… “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.” (Isaiah 41:10, NLT)
If the place I am in screams SICKNESS, I live by the promise of… “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, Bible Verses About Future but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalm 34:19, ESV) and “He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.” (Isaiah 53:5b, NLT)
If the place I am in screams GUILTY, I live by the promise of… “He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west.” (Psalm 103:12, NLT) and “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” (Romans 8:1, NIV)
WE MUST KNOW WHAT WE ARE ENTITLED TO AS CHILDREN OF GOD.
WE CAN’T STAND ON A PROMISE THAT WE DON’T KNOW. WE MUST LEARN THE PROMISES OF GOD UNTO HIS CHILDREN.
