14 Days of God's Promises - Day #9

Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be well with him: for they shall eat the fruit of their doings. 

Woe unto the wicked! it shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him. 

-Isaiah 3:10-11


All shall be well, dear righteous one; do not fear. 
All shall be well, though e'en now thou may'st have tears. 
He'll wipe them all away someday, 
And bid thee enter fairest day, 
All shall be well, child of God; do not fear. 

But ill! How grieves my heart! Shall to the wicked be. 
Yes, fear! To you I bid you, fear! 
It may be you shall see, the mercies of our Mighty God, 
Poured out to even thee. 
But if you do not heed and turn: ill, ill! 'twill be with thee. 

14 Days of God's Promises - Day # 8

But whoso hearkeneth unto Me shall dwell safely,
 and shall be quiet from fear of evil.
-Proverbs 1:33

Held in His Mighty Arms
by Winfield Macomber

Safe is my refuge, sweet is my rest,

Ill cannot harm me, nor foes e’er molest;

Jesus my spirit so tenderly calms,

Holding me close in His mighty arms.

Refrain

Oh! what wonderful, wonderful rest!

Trusting completely in Jesus I’m blest;

Sweetly He comforts and shields from alarms,

Holding me safe in His mighty arms.

Pressing my tear stained cheek to His own,

Hushing my grief with His sweet gentle tone;

Touching my heart with His healing balms,

Holding me still in His mighty arms.

Refrain

Tempests may rage, sin’s surges may beat,

Ne’er can they reach my sheltered retreat;

Free from all danger, from dread alarms,

Resting so safe in His mighty arms.

Refrain

14 Days of God's Promises - Day #7

Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek
 and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

 -Matthew 11:29

Come, Learn of the Meek and Lowly
by Fanny Crosby

Come, learn of the meek and lowly,
Come, sit at the Master's feet; 
No place in the world so holy, 
No place in the world so sweet;
His lessons are plain and simple,
A balm to the wounded breast; 
He maketh our burden lighter, 
And giveth His children rest. 

Refrain: 
Then learn of the meek and lowly, 
Come, sit at the Master's feet;
No place in the world so holy, 
No place in the world so sweet.

O if we were more like Jesus, 
And more from the world apart,
Communing with Him in spirit, 
And nearer to Him in heart, 
We should not complain so sadly, 
When trouble and care we meet, 
But carry at once our sorrows, 
And lay them at Jesus' feet. 

(Refrain)

He wept o'er the holy city, 
He wept o'er a loved one dead;
He knoweth our every trial, 
And seeth the tears we shed; 
O live that our souls may enter 
His kingdom with joy complete;
And there, through eternal ages,
We'll sit at the Master's feet. 

(Refrain)

14 Days of God's Promises - Day #6

He that hath My commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth Me: and he that loveth Me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest Myself to him.

 -John 14:21

Behold the Wondrous Love

by Fanny Crosby

Behold, behold the wondrous love That ever flows from God above Through Christ His only Son Who gave His precious blood our souls to save. Refrain: All praise and glory be unto Jesus, For He hath purchased a full salvation; Behold how wondrous the proclamation, "Whosoever will may come." The "Spirit and the Bride say, Come" And find in Him sweet rest and home; Let Him that heareth echo still, The blessed "whosoever will." (Refrain) Behold a fountain in His side, To all the world is opened wide; Where all may come, by sin oppressed, And find in Him sweet peace and rest.  (Refrain) Behold Him now exalted high Above the bright and starry sky; Yet through His Word He calleth still, Come unto Me, whoever will.  (Refrain) Behold in Him the Living Way, That onward leads to endless day; Where, saved by grace, the ransomed throng, Lift up the everlasting song.  Refrain: All praise and glory be unto Jesus, For He hath purchased a full salvation; Behold how wondrous the proclamation, "Whosoever will may come."  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.  Revelation 22:17    Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.  -1 John 3:1

14 Days of God's Promises - Day #5

The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the 

prayer of the righteous. 

-Proverbs 15:29

If sin we care not to forsake, 
As we seek the God of all grace, 
Our prayers unanswered shall be, 
For our God, pure, holy, is He. 

But if we confess and do grieve, 
O'er the sins that before we did love, 
His promise is true, just believe!
We'll receive blessings sweet from above. 

14 Days of God's Promises - Day #4

Good and upright is the LORD: therefore will He teach sinners in the way. 

The meek will He guide in judgment: and the meek will He teach his way. 
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. 

-Psalms 25:8-10

O may our hearts in meekness bow, 

Before Thy throne of grace; 

Claiming naught but Jesus' blood,

Our glorious Hiding Place.

Quiet, Lord My Froward Heart

by John Newton

Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,

Make me teachable and mild;

Upright, simple, free from art,

Make me as a weaned child;

From distrust and envy free,

Pleased with all that pleaseth Thee.

What Thou shalt to-day provide,

Let me as a child receive;

What to-morrow may betide,

Calmly to Thy wisdom leave:

'Tis enough that Thou wilt care;

Why should I the burden bear?

As a little child relies

On a care beyond his own;

Knows he's neither strong nor wise;

Fears to stir a step alone;

Let me thus with Thee abide,

As my Father, Guard, and Guide. 

14 Days of God's Promises - Day #3

Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. 

Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 

For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the LORD. 

Proverbs 8:33-35


Life! Eternal life.
Shall those be graced to have, 
Who hear instruction, 
Watch and wait, 
And seek our mighty God. 

Favour! Favour sweet. 
Shall all those ones obtain,
Who heed and seek Him, 
Claim His Word, 
And fear His holy Name. 

14 Days of God's Promises - Day #2

The LORD is good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him.

 -Lamentations 3:25

Our help is sure, 
If we endure, 
And claim God's promise true. 
Though long we wait, 
We'll claim by faith, 
Like Abraham of old. 

14 Days of God's promises - Day #1

   He will bless them that fear the LORD, 

both small and great.

 -Psalms 115:13

Fear Him, all ye people, 
The LORD, our Mighty God. 
O turn from evil that He hates, 
And love the Lord our God. 

He promises His blessing,
On those both great and small, 
Who fear Him in sincerity,
So let us fear Him, all. 

If we would claim God's promises by His grace, and grow in faith, we must be in His Word meditating on it, daily. I just wanted to share for a couple weeks some promises from God's Word each day to help that, prayerfully, be a reminder and an encouragement to myself and others.

Psalm 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 

My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. 

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 

The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. 

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. 

Psalm 121

Bless the Lord

We ought not to make our praises of God to depend on our own personal and present reception of benefits. This would be bare selfishness. Even publicans and sinners have a good word for those whose hands are enriching them with gifts. It is the true believer who will bless the Lord when He takes away His gifts, or hides His face. - C.H. Spurgeon 

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 

-Habakkuk 3:17-18

I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall 

continually be in my mouth. 

Psalms 34:1

He calleth them all by their names

Look up into the night sky, and remember Who it is that made those billions and billions of stars, and calls each one by their names. He is Your Maker. If you know Him as your Lord and Saviour, He is your own Heavenly Father, and He cares for you. 

"Lift up your eyes on high, and behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth." -Isaiah 40:26

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. -Psalms 147:4

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." -1 Peter 5:7


And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 

Matthew 8:26

Why do you doubt,

When the LORD is your Master?

Why do you doubt, 

When He ruleth the seas? 

Why do you doubt? 

Dear child of His, ponder. 

May it not be He asketh thee?

...O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? - Matthew 14:31b

Is the Almighty God Who created all things your Saviour?
