I am currently reading a devotional book authored by Robert J Morgan called Great is Thy Faithfulness. In one of the chapters that I have already read the author discusses God's wonderful promises to us found in the Old Testament. These promises include God walking beside us directing our steps each day, hearing our prayers, and being our shield and reward. The promises include His vow to renew and restore us and to even be with us in old age. These promises also include His covenant love for us, His blessings, His strength, and his healing each day. The Lord further promises to be our refuge in times of trouble, to delight in us, and to actually rejoice and sing over us!
Promises are found all throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation even in what we might consider obscure parts of the Bible. For example, in Hosea 6:1, God promises to bind up our wounds, and in Nahum 1:7 the Lord God promises to be our refuge in times of trouble. Hence, there are amazing promises in the New Testament, but there are also wonderful promises as well in the Old Testament where we may be tempted to believe they would not be found as readily.
In a world where we often face trials and heartaches it is wonderful to know and treasure the multitude of God's promises to us. He is always a faithful and loving God. We can count on His faithfulness and presence in our lives. We can count on His promises in His Word.
Below is a link to the wonderful hymn, "Great is Thy Faithfulness." I have been listening to this hymn frequently in the past weeks, as I I contemplate God's faithfulness. May this hymn bless you today, dear reader.
