UNBROKEN PROMISES!

CHRIST ON THE CROSS, CARL HEINRICH BLOCH, 1870







I have learned over the years that
I will have to break some promises 
at some point in my life.Life events
happen that I have no control over. 
I learned this lesson the hard way!

One rule of child rearing is to avoid promising your children anything!  
I promised my 10 year old son a 
watch that he begged for daily.  
My husband got sick and I needed
the money for medication. I had
to get him another watch.He acted
like a spoiled brat. I was hurt and 
appalled at his behavior. I took the
watch back and chastised him for 
his ungrateful behavior. I learned 
to say, "I'll try" or "I'll see what I 
can do!" They did not become
belligerent when we could not  
honor all of their wishes.

Fortunately, I know someone
who never breaks His promise.
It is Jesus! I learned this when
I became a mature Christian. 
His Promises are for people 
who believe and have faith in
Him.  He fulfills His promises
according to His timing, not 
man's!

The Bible tells me about several of
God's Promises. Here some of His
Promises that I stand on daily:



LIFE LESSON:


STUDY & BELIEVE GOD'S PROMISES:
 
JOHN 3:16


For God so loved the world that 
He gave His only begotten Son, 
that whoever believes in Him 
should not perish but have ever
lasting life.


ACTS 10:34 

Then Peter opened his mouth and said:
“In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.


ROMANS 8:37-39

37 Yet in all these things we are
more than conquerors through
Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither
present nor things to come,
death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God.

 


ROMANS 10:9

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

ADAM & EVE'S FAMILY TREE

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
