A Promise You Can Count On!
One of the greatest things about being in the family of God is the treasury of promises that are outlined in the Bible. Our Father has not only provided a way for us to be reunited with Him for ever and ever, but He has a fantastic storehouse of promises that we can count on:
God’s way is perfect.
All the Lord’s promises prove true.
He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. Psalm 18:30 (NLT)
The above verse is a synopsis of what we can count on. We can count on our loving Father always keeping His promises. He is for us and provides protection all around us. “The name of the Lord is a strong tower and the righteous run in and are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)
In this world, we are all surrounded by dangers seen and unseen. It is a tremendous comfort to know that we are under “the shadow of the secret place of the most High”. This must not only be our comfort, this must be our daily prayer. And most importantly, it must be something that we tell our children, that they might grow up without fear and torment. Countless numbers of children hear daily reports in the news that have them bound with fear. We will never be able to be all the place at the same time – there will be times when we are separated from our children. In those times, and in all times, we can pray that He will watch over them – for He is omniscient – omnipresent- and omnipotent. That’s who He is!
