I Kings 8 Promises

It’s Friday and that means accountability day. Just a date and a click of the enter button is all that is needed.
May God remind us all of the value of daily listening to his promises.

Here are a few interesting promise quotes:

9. 1 Kings 8:56 Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.

10. Here is a poem written by Norman F. Douty, which clarifies how the promises of God impact our lives,

God's promise is not freedom
From trials in the race,
But power to transcend them
Through His sufficing grace.
Not strength instead of weakness,
Not smile instead of tears;
Not peace instead of conflict,
Not song instead of fears.
But weakness filled with power,
And tears with radiance spread,
And peace amid the battle,
And song e'er fears are fled.

So here is my encouragement to you today.... live as people of the promise today. Really believe God’s promises are true!!!
