Promise

(photo: above Lake Tahoe,CA)

You are right and you do right, God; your decisions are right on target. You rightly instruct us in how to live ever faithful to you…Your promise has been tested through and through, and I, your servant, love it dearly. I'm too young to be important, but I don't forget what you tell me. Your righteousness is eternally right, your revelation is the only truth. Even though troubles came down on me hard, your commands always gave me delight. The way you tell me to live is always right; help me understand it so I can live to the fullest.

Every word you give me is a miracle word— how could I help but obey? Break open your words, let the light shine out, let ordinary people see the meaning. Mouth open and panting, I wanted your commands more than anything. Turn my way, look kindly on me, as you always do to those who personally love you. Steady my steps with your Word of promise so nothing malign gets the better of me. Rescue me from the grip of bad men and women so I can live life your way. Smile on me, your servant; teach me the right way to live. I cry rivers of tears because nobody's living by your book!

Do you think I'd withdraw my
holy promise? or take back words I'd already spoken? I've given my word, my whole and holy word…

[ God Gave His Word ] When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it to the hilt, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, "I promise that I'll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless!" Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him.

The believer replied, "Every promise of God proves true; he protects everyone who runs to him for help.

Psalm 119:137 Psalm 119:129 Psalm 89:19 Hebrews 6:13 Proverbs 30:5

Fear fades as faith grows.
