When do you get personal peace when you feel like you've gone into free fall after a bungy jump?
Peace comes when you know...
what to do next
when to speak
what to say
where to go
why you’re here
but especially...
whom to trust to land you in a safe place.
The kind of trust of really deep down in your gut kind of certainty that this one will pull you through.
It’s called faith.
Have you discovered your own promises from God...for comfort? For help? For peace? The sort of assurances that penetrate past your doubts? Every bit of unbelief?
He’s got words meant straight from His heart to yours. Find them. Listen to them. Allow them to permeate deep within until you know He will not withhold any good thing from you.
When’s the last time you’ve claimed promise verses for yourself and those you love? Below you’ll find a few samples to examine.
Note the context.
Detect what comes before and after too.
Pay attention to any pre-conditions to be met.
Memorize the key ones.
