I wanted to share some encouragement to you sisters on God's promises and how we can be women of faith looking for those promises that apply to us.
I was reading in the Old Testament and it had about all God's promises coming to pass to the children of Israel.
"Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil."
2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
I was reading in the Old Testament and it had about all God's promises coming to pass to the children of Israel.
"There failed not ought of any good thing which the Lord had spoken unto the house of Israel; all came to pass."
Joshua 21:45
We know the Lord is faithful and if we truly seek Him He will be found.
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Matthew 7:7-8
We women have to do our part of course to be faithful to Him, obey Him, seek His Word; living holy for Him. I know and see how that has worked in my own life as I have been seeking the ways of God, He has been faithful to reveal His Word and truth to me. He has blessed me because I was seeking His truth.
We know He's faithfully kept His promise to not destroy the whole world in a flood.
Think of Christ, the one promised to come into the world! Praise God that our Saviour has come!
"For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."
2 Corinthians 1:19-20
We just need to read God's Word for promises for those who are faithful...it's full of them. He will care for His children.
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it."
1 Corinthians 10:13
No matter what you are facing in your life as a godly woman we can know that the Lord will bring you through that trial and strengthen you in it.
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith.
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil."
2 Thessalonians 3:1-3
I was thinking where do I start in the promises of the life to come for those who overcome!
Read 2 Peter 3 for one awesome promise.
I hope this reminder of God's promises encourages you to press on faithful! How full is God's Word of precious promises for those who obey Him, and on the other hand promises of wrath and destruction for those who obey not the gospel and know not God. We cannot ignore those...it would be foolish.
"And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,
In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;"
2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
Are you obeying the gospel today? Test yourself here to the biblical gospel and don't be deceived by false ways of the church today. Follow Christ and His Word.
What a great hope we can have through Christ!
Love in Christ,
