Psalm 18:30-31 (NLT) 30God’s way is perfect. All the LORD’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. 31For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock?
Dear Readers, I cannot read this verse without my heart singing one more “golden oldie” hymn, and I share it now with you:
Standing on the Promises by Russell Kelso Carter, 1886
Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring: Glory in the highest I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail, When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living word of god I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord, Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword, Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall, List’ning every moment to the Spirit’s call, Resting in my Savior as my all in all, Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, Standing, Standing on the promises of God my Savior; Standing, Standing, I’m standing on the promises of God.
Gracious Heavenly Father,
Your Word is full of precious promises for daily living and guidance; as well as for comfort and hope and encouragement in times of distress. If I could ask anything, I ask that you renew within us the deep desire to read your Word daily, to discover and hold tight to the precious promises you give us. Lord, You have graciously given us your Word and your Word is true. Now it is time for us to take the responsibility to have eyes ready to see, and ears ready to hear, and a heart and mind ready and willing to understand.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
