A Story of Promises of God
Sometimes we go through difficult times – losing our job, marriages falling apart, sickness, losing a loved one, or struggling to make life happen. I have experienced some difficult times, and it was either God’s way or no way. So let me venture to my secret place and share how the promises of God have given me guidance and hope.
As I was reading my Bible and seeking God, I came across the promise of provision in Philippians 4:19, “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” This promise gave me confidence, hope, and direction to trust God’s provision for whatever I was dealing with. But it was not easy taking the word and believing it. I had to create pockets of habits that would help me mentally.
A few days later, I received an unexpected call in my spirit to create a list of all the promises of God, to match the issues I was going through in life. Using these scriptures offered me a new way to cope – it was an answer to my prayer.
I used it to continue trusting in the promises of God and began seeing more blessings. I was restored from grief, paid off 90 % of my debts, and got a new job. It was the start of a brighter day and being confident in God’s words of promises. Through it all, I knew that God was faithful to his promises.
This experience taught me the importance of trusting God’s promises even when things seem impossible. I’ve learned that God’s promises are true, and you can rely on them in every circumstance.
