2 Timothy 4:18 (WEB) And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen. Promise #179: I will rescue you from evil and safely deliver you into My kingdom. Paul the Apostle, was writing to his spiritual son, Timothy, when he made this reference. We know from the telling of Paul’s life in the Bible that his life was difficult. He was stoned, beaten, ship wrecked, imprisoned and persecuted at every turn. I am sure there were times where he struggled with discouragement....

2 Corinthians 5:8 (WEB) We are courageous, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. Promise #177: When you leave your body, you will be at home in My presence. I am so glad that Paul the Apostle made this declaration that reveals a very special promise from God… To be absent from our body is to be present with the Lord! He promises to never leave us or forsake us in this world, and when it is time for us to leave this world, we are with...

Psalm 103:6 (WEB) Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed. Promise #175: I will provide justice for everyone who is mistreated. Isn’t it good to know that God promises to provide justice for those who are oppressed? I am amazed at the number of verses in the Bible which speak about God’s heart for the weak of this world, the poor, the mistreated, children, widows, orphans, etc. He has always been the protector of those who have difficulty protecting themselves. He is a God that does not rejoice in evil or injustice, but rejoices when the...

Jeremiah 49:11 (WEB) Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me. Promise #174: I will protect the fatherless, and widows can trust in Me. In the Old Testament Hebrew culture, a child who was fatherless was considered an orphan even if they were still under the care of their mother. That is why James says that pure religion is to take care of the widows and the orphans. God’s heart is for those who are vulnerable. God’s heart is for the underdog and those who are exploited in our society. I personally...

Matthew 5:9 (WEB) Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Promise #173: I will bless the peacemakers and call them My children. How do you think a father feels when he sees his children are fighting with each other in his home? As a father myself, I know how grieved I have felt when I have seen my children not getting along. A father’s heart is for peace and harmony for his kids. When I think of this promise, I am encouraged that there is a blessing for us when we love peace and we...
