All your words are true; all your righteous laws are eternal. Psalm 119:160
When I think of things that I'm thankful for, one of the things I think of are God's promises. (See yesterday's post called Counting the Omer.) These aren't just word from people, these are never-changing, hope-infused truths from God. Here are some of them.
The Lord will give His people strength. Psalm 29:11
The Lord hears our cries. Psalm 34:17
The Lord will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4-5
The Lord will answer when you call to Him. Jeremiah 33:3
Don't be afraid. God is with you. Isaiah 41:13
The Lord will give rest to your burdened soul. Matthew 11:28-29
The Lord will comfort you. John 14:27
The Lord has given us His Spirit to guide you. Acts 1:8
You will have everlasting life when you believe. John 3:16
There are so many more of these promises--for mercy, protection, strength, eternity, love, and forgiveness. The Bible says that God cannot lie (Hebrews 6:18), and His word is truth (John 17:1). They're not just words from people who have good intentions and then don't follow through.
God's words are binding and true. They last. They will happen. We can bring the offering of the Omer as we wait for his promises with expectation and strength.
