TODAY'S PROMISE

"Anyone who believes in me may come and drink!

For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water

will flow from his heart'" (When he said 'living water,"

he was speaking of the Spirit who would be given to

everyone believing in him.  But the Spirit had not

yet been given, because Jesus had not yet entered

into his glory.)"

(John 7:38,39 NLT)

TODAY'S PROMISE

"For the LORD God is our sun and our shield.

He gives us grace and glory.

The LORD will withhold no good thing 

from those who do what is right.

O LORD of Heaven's Armies,

what joy for those who trust in you."

(Psalms 84:11,12 NLT)

A SHORT MEDITATION

"Oh, how I love they law!

It is my meditation all the day."

(Psalms 119:97 RSV)

Old age

Most of you kids, - that's someone under about seventy

years old - will not under stand what I am talking about.

Go talk to your grandparents, they will tell you.  BUT,

this old age stuff is not all that "Golden years" thing.  In

fact even the Holy Scriptures give us a different picture.

"Remember also your creator in the days of your youth,

before the evil days come,"(Ecclesiastes 12:1 RSV)

Instead our cry becomes,

"Do not cast me off in the time of old age;

forsake me not when my strength is spent."

(Psalms 71:9 RSV)

But there is a promise that I cling to.

"The righteous flourish like the palm tree,

and grow like a cedar in Lebanon...

They still bring forth fruit in old age,

the are ever full of sap and green,"

(Psalms 92:12 & 14 RSV)

The key is "The righteous...", that is,

do what is right in God's sight.

Getting old?

Get acquainted with God.

Grab his hand and live with him,

then you will have enough strength

and vitality to be useful even in old

age.

TODAY'S PROMISE

The Lord is gracious, and full of

compassion; slow to anger, and

of great mercy."

(Psalms 145:8)

TODAY'S PROMISE

"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to teach

them that they should always pray and never

become discouraged.  'In a certain town there 

was a judge who neither feared God nor respected

people.  And there was a widow in that same

town who kept coming to him and pleading for

her rights, saying, 'Help me against my opponent!'

For a long time the judge refused to act, but at

last he said to himself, ' Even though I don't fear

God or respect people, yet because of all the 

trouble this widow is giving me, I will see to

it that she gets her rights.  If I don't, she will

keep on coming and finally wear me out!'

And the Lord continued, 'Listen to what that 

corrupt judge said.  Now, will God not judge

in favor of his own people who cry to him

day and night for help?  Will he be slow to

help them?  I tell you, he will judge in their 

favor and do it quickly.  But will the Son of

man find faith on earth when he comes?"

(Luke 18:1-8 TEV)

PROMISES

"Every promise in the book is mine",

is an expression I use to hear regarding the Bible.

I don't hear it much anymore. Perhaps because people

do not trust God any more.

But consider.

All the promises God made are not just about pie in the sky when we die.

Some of God's promises are very stern warnings about what he will do to us if,

we don't straighten up and fly right.

And we don't want the consequences of them.

Strange. I have never hear anyone claim one of these promises.

Maybe we need to spend more time in the Bible

reading ALL of God's promises.

Then adjusting to his word so only the good

promises will apply to us.
