"The God of Promise" -2

"Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby Thou didst confirm Thine inheritance, when it was weary." (Psalms 68:9) When you think about how important God's word is for our strength, we can come to the realization that the strength we have is not based upon anything that we possess, but it is based upon the strength of God and the security of His promises towards us, His inheritance. This is why it is so vital that we do not discount anything that is written in the Bible. As soon as we start taking away from what He has written to us, we open up our hearts to doubt anything that is promised. We cannot pick and choose what we are willing to believe from His word! To do so, will only end up causing us to be confused about His promises towards us. Are you feeling weary? Then you need to cast out doubt and stand upon the promise of your inheritance into the kingdom of God; plain and simple! Don't let anyone try to convince you that you cannot trust everything written in His word; because if you doubt some of it, then you will fail to put your trust in any of it. You can not have total faith in God without total truth, and His word is truth, through and through; from Genesis 1:1 all the way to Revelation 22:21, there is nothing that can be taken out or added to it! Do you believe that? Can you stand upon that? It needs to be real enough to be counted upon as a fact! Which is really something that is lacking in many of our churches today, the fact that His word is Holy and Truth; the fact that it is His words expressed to us, so that we might know Him and our need for Him. We must realize how much we need Him! Once we realize how much we need Him, we can begin to see all that He has done for us, all that He is doing for us, and all that He is going to do for us; no matter what your current situation or circumstance might appear to be, your in good hands... "For the land you are about to enter and take over is not like the land of Egypt from which you came, where you planted your seed and made irrigation ditches with your foot as in a vegetable garden. Rather, the land you will soon take over is a land of hills and valleys with plenty of rain - a land that the LORD your God cares for. He watches over it through each season of the year!" (Deuteronomy 11:10-12) NLT
