One thing that has been on my heart lately is the concept of God’s promises.  I feel as though sometimes we just read over the promises that God has given us because we have heard them so much.  Recently, I started to really pay attention to the promises in the Bible.  While I was reading Psalm 37, which is now my favorite psalm, some verses really gripped me.  It is filled with promises from the Creator of the earth, such as: “Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” (v.4), and “Commit your way to the Lord; trust him, and he will act.” (v.5).  Those are just two of the promises given!  I want to encourage you, reader, to not just read through this psalm, but to hang on to every promise as if it was the very air you need to breathe.  It is so important to never lose our awe and wonder of God.  There is something new to behold about Him daily.  There is always something new to discover that will bring us to tears.  Just look into His intense, gentle eyes.

P.S.  A great song that goes along with this blog is “Come What May” by Lindy Conant of The Circuit Riders.  The bridge talks about the promises of God.  It has been my theme song lately!
