JOURNAL 2-22-15=GOD'S PERFECT WORD=COVENANTS AND PROMISES




“I set my bow in the clouds to SERVE as a SIGN........” Genesis 9:13


HAVE you ever seen a RAINBOW-what a beautiful and WONDEROUS sight-and for me personally-when I see one-I ALWAYS FEEL the presence of God


AFTER the great flood-God put a RAINBOW in the sky as a REMINDER that there would be NO MORE world destroying floods-GOD IS PATIENT with us-and He wants us to get it right-but he is NOT going to wait forever


The PLAN OF SALVATION has been fulfilled in the person of Jesus so that “HE might lead you/me to God” (1 Peter 3:18)-I KEEP wondering WHEN more of us in this world are going to get it right-by the looks of the 5 o'clock news-it doesn't look like that it is any time soon


MORE OF US in this world have to BEGIN to win the battle of GOD AND FAMILY and goodness and UNSELFISHNESS over sin and selfishness and greed in this world


WHEN was the last time you saw a RAINBOW? DID You feel the awesome PRESENCE OF GOD-I HOPE so-and more than that I HOPE you are winning your own battle of GOOD over evil by choosing GOD AND FAMILY VALUES in today's world


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us and a great day for CHOOSING GOD and making him number 1 in your life-ALONG with your family




GOD’S PERFECT WORD---COVENANTS AND PROMISES




Has anyone
Ever made you a promise
And not kept their word


Has God


The answers are
Yes and no
At least by the experience
Of my own life


I have been
Let down over and over again
By human beings
But not by God


God always
Keeps his words


A covenant is defined
As an agreement between two parties
A solemn promise or vow
Especially between God and people


God always keeps his covenant
God always keeps his word


God said to Noah
“Never again
Will the waters become a flood
To destroy all the earth
Whenever the RAINBOW appears
In the clouds
I will see it
And remember the everlasting covenant
Between GOD and ALL living creatures
Of every kind”


Man makes promises
Do they keep them
Sometimes yes and sometimes no
Not so with God
God ALWAYS keeps his word


God said to Abraham,
“As for me
This is my covenant with you:
You will be
The Father of many nations
No longer will you be called Abram
Your name will be Abraham
I have made you
The Father of many nations”


Christian, Muslim, and Jew
God always keeps his Word


God said to the Jewish people through Moses,
“You are standing here
In order to enter in to a covenant
With the Lord your God


A covenant the Lord
Is making with you
This day and sealing with an oath


To confirm you this day as his people
That he may be your God
As he promised you
And as he swore to your Fathers,
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob”


Do people keep their promises
Sometimes yes---sometimes no


God always keeps his promises
With God---it is always so


God told Nathan
To go and tell David,
“Your house and your kingdom
Will endure forever before me
Your thrown will be established forever”


God always keeps his word


With people
Promises made---sometimes
Are promises broken


With God---that is never so
God always keeps his word


“This is the covenant
I will make with them
I will
Put my law in their hearts
And I will write them
On their minds”


Through Christ’s perfect sacrifice
And the SPIRIT who testifies


GOD’S WORD IS PERFECT
HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS WORD
