Can you believe we are in February already? My question today, and it applies to me also is, have you remembered? Remembered what you may ask. Well I am referring to the promises made approximately one month ago. You know, those ‘New Year’ challenges that were definitely going to be met this time. Are you still on track? Has your resolve crumbled? Only you can answer those questions. Here are some promises in the bible that hopefully will get you back on track. The first is found in 1 Peter 5:7

“Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you”

The New Living translation frames it this way ‘give all your cares and worries to God, for He care for you’

What a powerful promise.

Staying in the books of Peter, 2 Peter 1:4 says

“And because of his glory and excellence, he has given us great and precious promises. These are the promises that enable you to share his divine nature and escape the world’s corruption caused by human desires.”

Gods’s promises indeed are precious as they are his word and his word is truth.

Isaiah 40:29-31 says

“He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.
 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
They will soar high on wings like eagles.
 They will run and not grow weary.
They will walk and not faint.”

I am sure you have your personal favourite bible promise but I am leaving you with this verse from Proverbs 1:33

“But all who listen to me will live in peace, untroubled by fear of harm.”

I am realising more each day that sometimes all we need is Gods word, pure, undiluted and more often to get us through whatever obstacles we find ourselves facing. So today is a new day, forget the guilt of yesterday promises broken and let God guide us into His future.
