God's Promises

I woke up at 5.30a.m.this morning rushing to close my windows as it was raining cats and dogs and the wind was blowing rather strong. I was thinking what a day it would be because in Penang, when it rains, the traffic will go crazy especially in the morning as people rush to school and work. The lyrics from the song Manic Monday by The Bangles was already playing in my mind. Some call it Monday Blues....!!!!

I went back to bed and woke up at 7.15am still thinking what a day it would be. But to my amazement, I saw a bright morning with an awesome rainbow on the horizon. What a scene!!!! I am reminded about God's promise to Noah in Genesis 9:12-17. The rainbow speaks to us of the promises of God. To this day we see God keeping this promise, we have rainbows in the sky and no world-wide floods. God keeps His promises, the rainbow is the proof. If God didn’t give this promise to never flood the earth again, every time it rained - everyone would be running for hills thinking God was not happy and was going to flood the earth again.

God's promises are still relevant today. There are many promises in His word. For example, He said:

• Hebrews 13:5 – God will never leave you or forsake you.

• John 10:28 – No one can snatch you out of the hand of Jesus

All of us have troubles and fears, and will continue to have them as long as we live. Let us remember that God will see us through in every difficulty that we go through. Let's look for His promises and believe what He says. Let us seek to lay hold upon all Christ has for us; let us seek promises. If we do, we are sure to find them. God will fulfill every promise He has ever made.

Be Blessed.
