Standing on His promises! from "His Kindness Year Round"

I, along with many, remember the events of twelve years ago.  As faith sincerely is so essential in our relationship with God, I have found myself humming this old hymn a great deal recently. 

Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

through eternal ages let his praises ring;

glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,

standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:

            Standing, standing,

            standing on the promises of Christ my Savior;

            standing, standing,

            I'm standing on 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.

Exercise your faith today by standing on His promises.

Psalm 18:30 "God's way is perfect.  All the Lord's promises prove true.  He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection."

Romans 15:4 "Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us.  And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled."

2 Corinthians 1:19-20 "For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, does not waver between "Yes" and "No."  He is the One whom Silas, Timothy and I preached to you, and as God's ultimate "Yes", He always does what He says.  For all of God's promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding "Yes!"  And through Christ, our "Amen" ascends to God for His glory."

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep His promise."

Prayerfully, your sister in Him,
