Understanding God’s Promises
God’s promises are like a strong foundation. When we build our lives on them, we can stand firm, even when things are tough. Just like a house needs a strong foundation to stand, we need God’s promises to support us in life.
Supporting Story
The story of Abraham shows us the importance of standing on God’s promises. God promised Abraham that he would have many descendants, even though Abraham and his wife Sarah were very old and had no children. Despite their age, Abraham believed God’s promise. Eventually, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, proving that God keeps His promises Genesis 21:1-3 KJV.
Supporting Scriptures
- Joshua 23:14 (KJV)
“And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.”
This verse reminds us that God’s promises never fail. What He says will happen, always happens.
- Hebrews 10:23 (KJV)
“Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”
We should hold tightly to our faith because God is faithful and always keeps His promises.
- Romans 4:20-21 (KJV)
“He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.”
Abraham’s strong faith in God’s promise sets an example for us. We too can be sure that God will do what He has promised.
Conclusion
Standing on the promises of God means trusting that He will do what He says. Just like Abraham trusted God’s promise and saw it come true, we can trust that God will fulfill His promises to us. By believing in God’s word and holding onto His promises, we find strength and hope in every situation.
