Freedom from Sin; Self Righteousness; Comfort; Contentment; Food & Clothing; Death; Success; Long Life; Trust; Redemption of Sin. Taken from the NIV.
Freedom from Sin: 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"
When we give ourselves to Christ, our sins are forgiven. We need to also forgive ourselves.
Self Righteousness: Jeremiah 2: 35: "You say, 'I am innocent; he is not angry with me.' But I will pass judgment on you because you say, 'I have not sinned."
Not taking responsibility for our actions is wrong. We may not suffer the consequences right away, but He never forgets what we have done. Repent of your sins.
Comfort: Psalm 22:24: "For he has not despised or disdained the suffering of the afflicted one: he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help."
He's always listening. We can take comfort in knowing He is always there.
Contentment: Proverbs 14:30: "A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones."
Plain and simply put, worry, envy, jealousy, all hurts one physically and mentally. It's just not worth putting ourselves through this.
Food & Clothing: Proverbs 13:25: "The righteous eat to their hearts content, but the stomach of the wicked one goes hungry."
Be a follower in the Lord and want not. Be a vengeful, mean, do it myself attitude and suffer.
Death: Romans 5:9: "Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath though him!"
Just because we have been saved does not say we will receive eternal life. We must follow His commands, obey, and live a righteous life in the Lord.
Success: Isaiah 30:23: "He will also send you rain for the seed you sow in the ground, and the food that comes from the land will be rich and plentiful. In that day your calltel will graze in broad meadows."
Isn't it great how we are provided for and given what we need to survive when we put our trust in Him? Hallelujah!
Long Life: Proverbs 17:6: "Children's children are a crown to the aged, and parents are the pride of their children."
It's one big circle. What we show our children is what they carry on. If we lead them correctly, they will carry that on to their children and so forth. So we must always be aware of our actions if we want to see our children become successful.
Trust: Proverbs 3: 5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; 6 in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
We can't do it alone. We may want to and think we can, but without God, we have and we are nothing.
Redemption from Sin: 1 John 2: 1-2: "My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense--Jesus
Christ, the Righteous One. 2 He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
We should always be thankful and give thanks at all times for the great sacrifices that were made for our freedom of sin. It's a dishonor to Jesus and the Father when we go on sinning and never feel remorse for what we have done.

God's Promises: Friday
Freedom from Sin; Self Righteousness; Comfort; Contentment; Food & Clothing; Death; Success; Long Life; Trust; and Redemption of Sin. Taken from the CBS Version.
Freedom from Sin: Romans 6:6-7: "For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin's dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin, 7 since a person who has died is freed from sin's claims."
Wow! What a great sacrifice God and Jesus made for us. Do we have a right to complain about how hard we have it? Do you stop and think about the sacrifices He made for us? When one does, we should be able to refrain from sinning much easier.
Self Righteousness: Isaiah 5:21: "Woe to those who are wise in their own opinion and clever in their own sight."
Without Him, we are nothing. For those who try to go it alone, something always manages to happen.
Comfort: Psalm 18:2: "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my mountain where I seek refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."
I'll tell you what, whenever I'm starting to let my guard down and the enemy starts to sneek in, you can really tell the difference. Stay in the prescenc of the Lord and life is so much more exciting.
Contentment: Proverbs 15:15: "All the days of the oppressed are miserable, but a cheerful heart has a continual feast."
Amen and Hallelujah to that! Be happy, don't worry, cast all your cares and worries up to the Lord. He will take care of us!
Food and Clothing: Psalm 111:5: "He has provided food for those who fear Him; he remembers His covenant forever."
The Lord will make sure we are provided with all necessities.
Death: Proverbs 14:32: "The wicked are thrown down by their own sin, but the righteous have a refuge when they die."
How sweet is that. Follow the Lord our God for eternity in paradise, or don't follow and suffer for all eternity. Ewww, gives me the shivers just thinking about it. I believe!!!
Success: Deuteronomy 30:9: "The Lord your God will make you prosper abundantly in all the work of your hands with children, the offspring of your livestock, and your soil's produce. Indeed, the Lord will again delight in your prosperity, as He delighted in that of your fathers."
Do as you are expected and you will be rewarded!
Long Life: Proverbs 20:29: "The glory of young men is their strength, and the splendor of old men is gray hair."
Ah yes, the splendor of gray hair, the crown of glory. Life for eternity when you give yourself to the Lord, believe, baptized, and repent of all sins.
Trust: Psalm 37: 3-5: "Trust in the Lord and do what is good; dwell in the land and live securely. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him, and He will act."
Life is much better when we put our trust and faith in His hands. Believe and receive goodness. You must believe wholeheartedly though, not just a part time believer/follower.
Redemption of Sin: 1 John 3:5: "Jesus answered, 'I assure you: Unless someone is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God."
One must be baptized in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.One must be baptized in order to enter into the Kingdom of God.

God's Promises: Friday
Today's subjects consist of: Freedom from Sin; Self Righteousness; Comfort; Contentment; Food & Clothing; Death; Success; Long Life; Trust; and Redemption from Sin. The context is from the NKJV.
Freedom from Sin: Ezekiel 36:25-26: "Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 26I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
What God wants for us a fresh new begining of a fresh spirit so that we will have the desire to do His work. He wants us to transform to His ways; and not to just exist doing our own thing.
Self Righteousness: Proverbs: 30:12-13: "There is a generation that is pure in it's own eyes, yet is not washed from it's filthiness. 13There is a generation--oh, how lofty are their eyes! And their eyelids are lifted up.
If we look at today, there are many that do not believe, that do not respect their parents and others. They feel that they are the ones that matter only, have it all, and can do as they please. This is of all ages. These are the people we need to be praying for, that they may be saved and quit living in the flesh.
Comfort: Psalms 46:1-3: "God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in throuble. Therefore we will not fear. Even thougth the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though it's waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with it's swelling."
No matter what, if we put ourselves in God's hands, we will be okay. We need not worry when with Him, He will not leave us; He will always care for and provide for us.
Contentment: Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.
When we allow ourselves to be content and in the arms of our Father, we are able to have a light heart. When we live in the ways of the world in the flesh, our spirits become broken and we live in pain. We become a broken people.
Food & Clothing: Joel 2:26: "You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame."
When we are thankful for our Lord our God, He takes care of us, provides for us, and makes sure we are happy. Always remember to thank Him. He deserves our praises to Him.
Death: Psalm 23:4: "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
No matter what our circumstances, He is there to protect us. All we need to do is believe and turn our worries and cares over to Him.
Success: Proverbs 15:6: "In the house of righteousness there is much treasure, but in the revenue of the wicked is trouble."
As long as you come by your means legally and honestly, you will be well provided for. If you are a thief and a liar, coming by your wealth in a dishonest manner, you will have pain and suffering.
Long Life: Isaiah 46:4: "Even to your old age, I am He, and even to gray hairs I will carry you! I have made, and I will bear; Even I will carry, and will deliver you."
Is this a great promise or what. As it states in the Footprints poem, during hard times and trials, He does not leave us, it's then that He is carrying us, and this is so when we age and perhaps become frail. How sweet that is.
Trust: Psalm 46:1-2: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and the though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea."
This is just as comfort, we must also trust in Him to provide, care for, and in healing.
Redemption from Sin: Matthew 1:21 "And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."
This is our promise for salvation. The promise that Christ will deliver us salvation.
Have a truly Blessed day in the Lord our God! Amen
