Standing on The Promises
Leaning on Jesus (Everlasting Arms)
Are you washed in the Blood?

God’s Promises!
Because of the window film, I am blessed on sunny mornings, and even in the afternoons, to be awoken to the sight of rainbows.

Genesis 9:12-17
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”

So often, I look at the rainbows that God provides in my house, and I am reminded that HE has made promises to ME…
Two of the most important to me are:

Ephesians 2:8-9 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

God began the work in me!

Phil 1:6
For I am confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will continue to perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

God will complete it!

I really expanded on this in the Itty Bitty Bible Study Philippians 1:3-11

There is one other promise for which I am still believing for manifestation in my life:

Isaiah 40:31 English Standard Version (ESV)
31 but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;
they shall run and not be weary;
they shall walk and not faint.

I received this promise from the Lord when I fell in the Navy and was paralyzed from the waist down. He removed the inflammation, and I was able to walk again. The damage still exists, and I am still struggling with the circumstances, but I am walking. I’m looking forward to the day that I run and am not weary, when I walk and not faint!

When I see the rainbows, I am blessed that God keeps his promises.
Today, I am reminded that HE looks upon the rainbows in the clouds to remember HIS promise to all of mankind! I am so blessed that HE is a faithful God!

Ps 63:7 Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.

“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest
