We say there are no promises in this life...
promises that all things would go just as we wish.
Things do not always go
the way we want them to
and there are no promises that
guarantee 100% success...
But there are promises,
another Kind of "promises"...
as a matter of fact,
A whole storehouse of them...
a wharehouse of them...
waiting for the taking.
Would that I would take them
for myself more often!
Here are some examples:
Heaven-anchored Thoughts:
"Commit thy works unto the LORD,
and thy thoughts shall be established. "
Prov 16:3
Peace of Mind:
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on Thee
for he trusteth in Thee." Isaiah 26:3
Internal Fortitude:
"Cast thy burden upon the LORD,
and He shall sustain thee..."
Psalm 55:2
Providence for Needs:
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
and all these things shall be
added unto you... Matt 6: 25-33
Direction in Life:
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;
and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
and he shall direct thy paths." Prov. 3:5,6
This is only the tip of the storehouse.
The Bible is Big on Promises...and God does not lie.
So I say...
Yes! ... there ARE promises...
And I Will Help Myself!

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you
through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
According as his divine power hath given unto us all things
that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge
of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises:
that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature,
having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
2 Peter 1:2-4
