Hi. Today at this Bloggers Meet and Greet we will be talking about the Promises of God. There are numerous promises of God in the Bible.
Did you know that according to biblegateway.com there are numerous Promises of God?I know so well the promises of God are many.
* * * Good News * * *
I am challenging you to list in the comments a promise of God. I will start off with one of my favorite Promises. Philippians 4:19 And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
1. The Bible
I have mentioned this before that I started reading at age 3. I would go to church with my neighbor. Although I now know it was a Methodist Church I attended, I did not know at the time. I just knew I wanted to find out more about God. There was always this quest to know more. I enjoyed church. I lived with my father. He was a Porter. I did not know why, but the only book in our house was the Bible. I don’t know if it was because we were so poor or my father just did not feel it was important to have other books in the house. He did not attend church. So at age three I decided I wanted to learn how to read. I would take the Bible and ask my father what was this word, what was that word? I started school at age 4. I felt reading Genesis about how God created the world and Adam and Eve was so exciting.
2. Memorizing Scripture
Although my father did not attend church, I observed bible verses in the Bible written on pieces of paper. I did not understand the why of that. I do know now they may have been verses he wanted to re-read or think on. I could not understand for a long time the importance of memorizing Bible verses. I now know although it is great to be able to find Bible verses in the Bible regarding particular subjects, it is equally important to be able to bring to remembrance Bible verses when needed. I think of it as sort of like remembering your password or remembering your telephone number. These things are important, but also it is important to remember Bible scripture for the preservation of your well-being as well as your soul.
I recall in college having to give an oral speech regarding relationships and God. When I finished the speech I would take answers from the audience. I had no idea what they might ask. I spoke of young people being equally yoke and attempting to marry a believer in God. Someone asked me the question, “ What if you are already married and you married a non-believer?” My answer was Matthew 19:6 Therefore they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.” In other words you don’t throw your spouse away because they are not a believer and you you suddenly discover about being unequally yoked.
3. Spiritual Warfare
Spiritual Warfare is very real. Super Natural Powers are real and cannot be seen with the naked eye. I feel sorry for the people that have said, “I will believe it when I see it.” Guess what? They might never see it. How many times have you met someone and did not like them. When you think about it was it the person or was it the spirit of that person that you did not like. 1 Peter 4:1 Dear friends, do not believer every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
I am so amazed when I hear young people say, “Oh, but I love him.” Do you love him or do you lust for him? There is a difference. Have you ever been told told look at people’s actions? Do the actions match the words? If they do not match something is wrong. Actions do speak louder than words.
4. God
I recall stating, “God is Good.” Someone challenged me and asked, “Why does he allow all the killing; Why does he allow other thing?” I explained, “That is not from God.” He seemed to forget that there are demons and Satan that are causing as much destruction as they can. Just as God exits so do demons. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that you may have life, and have it to the full. As parents we must remember that we do not hover over our children. We train them and pray they make the right decisions in life. They have free will just as God gives us free will. With that free will everyone will not always make the right decisions. Some may break the law others may keep it.
5. Rainbow
I will leave you with this promise of God. Have you ever wondered why do rainbows appear? God has said Genesis 9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth. I recall helping my daughter move. At the end of the day when we had finished we looked in the sky and there was not one, but a double rainbow. How rare is it to see two rainbows at the exact same time across the sky? This was amazing to see. That was my first time to see a double rainbow in my life.
My final challenge to you is, “Will you leave one of God’s promises in the comment below?”

Good read. It takes me back to my days at Houston Baptist University. One of my toughest classes was the Old Testament. I don’t remember all of God’s Promises though. You give some excellent examples. Thanks.
Thanks Military Travel. Thanks for stopping by.
Thank you for sharing! It great to be reminded of God's promises.
Faith and Motherhood you are most welcome.
The double rainbow mention is beautiful! I've witnessed many, and each time I thought that there was a meaning for them beyond physics.
I agree with you mihaela. Thanks for stopping by.
