God's promise

Sunday, June 23, 2019 (6:23 a.m.)

Holy God,

(6:56 a.m.)

Mm, yes. Holy God. All knowing, Holy God. I love You. You know Your best. You know Your plans for each of us (Jeremiah 29:11).

In considering the amount of births this date represents for people we know and love, I went straight to Your Word. Thank You for verses with which I have little knowledge.

Galatians 4:24 in The Message. “The two births represent two ways of being in relationship with God.” Isn’t this the Truth!

Verse 23, “The son of a slave woman [Hagar] was born by human connivance; the son of the free woman [Sarah] was born by God’s promise. This illustrates the very thing we are dealing with now.” How often do we rely on our own resources instead of Your promises?

Thank You Father that You provide us with Your Truth. Your promises. And the choice to wait and trust You. Or to work tirelessly of our own accord, attempting to manipulate Your will.

This morning Lord, I ask You to take full charge of this day. Yielding Your blessings as You choose to provide them. Trusting, believing that Your promises are best.

I love You. And I long to serve You.

Happy Birthday to those sharing this particular date, Lord. Those who are already living with You, as well as those who may or may not yet know You as the kind and loving God You are.

Be the promise fulfilling God You are. Making us obedient and patient in our wait. Thank You. We love You. Amen.
