PROMISES



For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen,
to the glory of God through us.

2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV)




People make promises all the time and then fail to follow through.

It's sad but it's true. We sink easily into the nitty-gritty of stressfulness depending on the promises of unfaithful family and friends.

Let's not try and kid ourselves. Every promise is not created equal; Every person does not honor his/her word.

Bouncing from one stress to another, many of us learned the hard way whose promises we could depend on.

The words recorded in 2 Corinthians 1:20 assure us that God's promises are "YES" and "AMEN." They are absolutely real.

Those steadfast, immovable, always abounding promises of God are the stress-survivors ultimate life line.

We can depend on God. If He has promised "it" -- whatever it is -- we need not worry; we need not stress. We hold on just a little while longer to that "YES" and "AMEN."



Peace I leave with you . . .

I sure needed to read this. Lost my job yesterday for no reason. Found myself asking 'what's going on?!' But God's word is Yea and Amen! Even though my employer didn't like me, God loves me and will always be there for me. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to respond to Let's De-Stress' PROMISES. Pleased to hear we pacified your need. Stress-survivors face injustices that are hard to understand. But you're right, God is always there for us.
