Promises From Psalms; Psalm 37:39

This week's promise once again comes from Psalm 37

God IS my strength in the time of trouble. 

Though my flesh is weak and I struggle in difficult times, my God never fails me. He is my strength! 

For when I am weak, then am I strong

1 Corinthians 12:9-10

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. I could think of no better hymn to portray the truth of Psalm 37:39.

Join me again next week as I look at another promise from Psalms.

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 37:23-24

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord

As believers, we're held in Jesus' hand and kept by the power of God, and when we delight in God's way, even though we may stumble and fall, he holds us up. No matter what circumstances, sorrows and trials come our way, we can trust the Lord to direct our steps.

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 37:7-9

This week we have another promise from Psalm 37

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 37:3-6

It's hard to pick favourites from Psalms, but I do love Psalm 37!

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 36:5-9

There is so much truth and so much beauty in these words from Psalm 36!

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 34:22

To know that my guilt is gone, that I've been redeemed and that I belong to Christ is a most precious promise.

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 34:17-19

This week's promise again comes from Psalm 34.

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 34:15

This week we have a wonderful promise found in Psalm 34:15.

No matter what is going on in the world around us, his children are always under the watchful eye of God, and he is listening for our cry.

As a mom, I can relate to this in a small way, at least in the hearing part. As I was thinking about this verse, I couldn't help but think of an incident that happened many years ago. My children and I were attending a sports day at a local school, where one of my foster children was participating. While I was watching her, my son went to play on the swings. A short time later, I heard a cry from across the schoolyard. Amid the noise of over 100 children laughing, playing and cheering, I instantly recognized the cry of my child. What a comfort to know that just as I respond to my child, my Father is listening for my cry. Not only that, but he is also watching over me at all times, and nothing that comes into my life has caught him unaware. 

(in case you're curious, I had to take my son across the street to the hospital to have his chin stitched up!)

Song for this week: The Eyes of the Lord

The message of this Psalm is very similar to Psalm 33:18 from 2 weeks ago, so I had to do some digging to find a different song for this week. This one is adapted from the words found in Psalm 34 verses 15, 17-19, and 22.

Join me again next week as I look at another promise from Psalms.

This week's promise comes from one of my favourite verses.

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 33:4

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 16:11

This weeks Promise:

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 27:14

Wait, I say, on the Lord.

 In the trials of my life, you call me to a quiet place.

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 27:5

This past week, I was able to spend a few days sitting with my mom, saying goodbye to her before she went home to be with Jesus. Knowing that she would be going to a place 'Where the storms never darken the skies' gave me peace and made it so much easier to say goodbye for now.

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 30:5

One day, all the trials of this life will fade like the darkness of night and we'll live eternally and joyfully in the light of our Lord!

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 23

This week's Promise From Psalms is an entire Psalm. There is so much in Psalm 23, I couldn't just pick one or two verses.

Promises from Psalms; Psalm 18:30

Again, in Psalm 18, David is calling on God in his distress. Throughout the earlier verses, he recounts his situation and God's response and he continues to speak of the character and righteousness of God.

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 12:6,7

The first words in this Psalm are, "Help, Lord." Once again David is calling out to God for help. The Psalm ends with verses 6 & 7 speaking of God's word.

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 9:9-10

Psalm 9 speaks again of praising the Lord and rejoicing. I've been more intentional about spending more time listening to songs of praise to God. When I praise God in song I draw nearer to Him and I'm more at peace. I've always known this, and yet I forget and go days without music being a part of my day.

Promises From Psalms; Psalm 5:11-12

Our second Promise From Psalms is found in Psalm 5:11-12.

 This Psalm is a prayer of David crying out to God for help and direction. In verses 11 and 12, the Psalmist speaks of those who put their trust in God.  Because He defends them they can rejoice and shout for joy; those that love His name can be joyful in him. God will bless the righteous and with favour will compass him with a shield.
