"And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good". — Genesis 32:12
There are 8810 promises in the Bible of which 7487 are those made by God to man. The promises are ours for the asking—7,487 of them made by God Himself.
These promises address all the issues we may face in life - poverty, death, betrayal, trust, war, Satan, you name it. Which also means that God has us covered in all aspects of life. He never is before his time, but he never is behind it. If you have a divine promise, you need not plead it with an “if,” you may urge it with certainty.
God does not give his words merely to quiet us, and to keep us hopeful for a while with the intention of putting us off at last; but when he speaks, it is because he means to do as he has said. Those promises can change lives.
How fast do we hold onto His promises? Do we even claim them like Jacob did? Do we demand?
We go to church and sing, “Standing on the promises,” but some of us are simply sitting on them!
