160 How God’s Promises to His People Help Them to Have a Good Day

May 5, 2022

Episode Summary:

In today’s episode, we are talking about how God’s promises to his people help us have a good day. There are very few things we can depend on in this world, but we can depend on God to keep His promises, and because of that, we can have a good day despite our circumstances.

Quotables from the episode:

  • People change their mind, and they break their promises, but God is not a man and he cannot lie, so he cannot break his promises.
  • A promise is of no more value than is the ability of the one who makes it to carry through. It also includes willingness to do so.
  • There are over 1000 promises from God to his people.
  • God supplies every need we have and His grace is sufficient for us.
  • God promised his children won’t be overtaken by temptation.
  • God promised victory over death and that all things work together for good.
  • He promised love and forgiveness for those who believe in Jesus.
