In view of just a portion of God’s generosity, may we stand on the promises of God today and every day. One of the most thrilling statements of all Scripture is this: “He who promised is faithful” (Heb. 10:23). Whatever you are struggling with, claim this ironclad fact with its many implications! Holding onto it, surely you can handle any trial, temptation, or trouble you are facing.
Really very nice thought about the powerfyl promises but we need follow them.thanks.
Thank you, Paul!
Great thoughts to keep in mind. Thank you, Neal for all you do in the Lord’s work!
