God's promises are so awesomely amazing!! Having had a few 'words' given to me over the last few months that have been surprising, and super encouraging, even when I haven't understood them (or even when the giver was more freaked out by the word than anything...:)), it was a a really special moment a week ago at church when someone came up and gave me something that was a promise, and almost a bringing together of many other key events that have happened over the last few months. It has caused me to wonder at it all, and ask alot of questions, but also been a challenge to pray what God has said and not read into it what's not specifically there- the potential confirmations.
Wonderfully Phil shared on promises at church last week, which was rather awesome timing. I loved that he then got people to write down promises that they felt they had received from God, and that many were about God never leaving us, always being close, of his overwhelming love, and the intimacy of relationship.
God's promises are ones we can believe, no matter what, He doesn't change his mind, He is always faithful, and will always keep the promises He has made. I loved the reminder too that we can embrace them, not be defined by our human limitations and perspectives, they are framed in God's timing, detail, and process. And in it all, we can trust and obey that he is worthy, has the absolute best interests at heart for each of us, that when JEremiah 19:11 says He knows the plans for us, it's for each of us, not just 'us' out there...
Too often I lose sight of the right perspective, so it's nice to come back to where it is, with God's promises.
