The God of the Universe–the One who created everything and holds it all in His hand–created each of us in His image, to bear his likeness, His imprint. It is only when Christ dwells within our hearts, radiating the pure light of His love through our humanity, that we discover who we are and what we were intended to be. (Wendy Moore)
The Lord is my Strength and my [impenetrable] Shield; my heart trusts in, relies on, and confidently leans on Him, and I am helped; therefore my heart greatly rejoices, and with my song will I praise Him. (Psalm 28:7, AMP)
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)
The LORD is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. I call to the LORD, who is worthy of praise, and I am saved from my enemies. (Psalm 18:2-3)
The Lord is my rock, my fortress, my deliverer, my refuge, and my strength. In all of this I receive comfort. No one can give me greater comfort than the Lord. The Lord’s arms are always open to me. He is always ready to love me. He is my Father. The One who holds and knows all of my tears (Psalm 56:8). The One who soothes my aching heart with the balm of His presence. God is truly my comfort! I run to Him and I am safe.
For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. (Psalm 33:4)
There are so many promises in God’s Word for His children. These promises have been my anchor through the storm. I have been clinging with all my might to the promises of God knowing that He will never fail me. So in these next couple of weeks I want to dive in to these promises with you. Let’s take a look at all that God promises us when we follow Him. I’m looking forward to this new study with you.
1. God will bring good through this.
