Precious Promises

His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.  Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

2 Peter 1:3-4

Aren't you glad God has given us everything we need for a godly life.  We no longer have to look to the world for the things we need to live our life here on this earth.  God has promised us an abundant life as we place our faith and trust in Him.  Live for Him daily, trust your life to Him, share the good news of His Son, and let others see Christ in you.

Standing on the Promises

by R. Kelso Carter

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring;

Glory in the highest, I will shout and sin,

Standing on the 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,

Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all,

Standing on the promises of God.
