Promises For Writers
“Afternoon Light” by Karen Hancock This I recall to my mind, therefore I have confidence. It is by the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul. Therefore I
have confidence in Him. The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the
person who diligently seeks Him. Lamentations 3:21-25 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of
power (filling of the Holy Spirit) and of love (personal love for God,
knowing He loves me), and of a stabilized mind (full of truth) . . . who has
called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to
His own purpose and grace which was granted us in Christ Jesus from all
eternity. 2 Timothy 1: 7, 9 Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans
will be established. The Lord has made everything for His own purpose . . . Proverbs
16:3,4 _____________________________________________________________ Better is a little with righteousness, than great income with injustice. Proverbs 16:8 Concentrate on how great a love the Father has
bestowed upon us, that we should be called Children of God; and such we are. I
John 3:1a The mind of man
plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for
it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believers; to the Jew
first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God
revealed. Romans 1:16, 17a . . . Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly beyond ALL that we ask or imagine, according to the power that
works within us. Ephesians 3:20 _____________________________________________________________ Do not keep thinking how tomorrow we will go to
such and such a city and do such and such for a year. You do not know what
your life will be like tomorrow (much less a year from now) Proverbs 27:1 STAY OUT OF THE
FUTURE! DO NOT worry yourself to gain wealth (success).
CEASE from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is
gone. (These are commands!) Proverbs 23:4 Do not let your heart envy sinners, but live in
respect/fear/awe of the LORD always. Surely there is a future, and your hope
will not be cut off. Listen . . . and be wise and direct your thinking in the
way. Proverbs 23:17-19 _____________________________________________________________ No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly . . . The Lord is good to those who wait for Him; to the soul who diligently seeks Him. NEVER COVET WHAT THE LORD HAS NOT GIVEN YOU IN GRACE He who gives attention to the word shall find
good, and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. Psalm 119:63 . . . they who seek the Lord shall not be in want
of any good thing. Psalm 34:10 . . . I love those who love me; and those who
diligently seek me will find me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring
wealth and righteousness . . . to endow those who love me with wealth, that I
may fill their treasuries. Proverbs 8:14-17 _____________________________________________________________ . . . If anyone wishes to come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to
save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the
one who will save it. Luke 9:23, 24 For every beast of the forest is Mine, the cattle
on a thousand hills. I know every bird of the mountains and everything that
moves in the field is mine. Psalm 24:1 You ask and do not receive because you ask for
yourselves with wrong motives, so that you may spend it in your pleasures
(lusts) James 4:3 And let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap, if we do not grow weary. Galatians 6:9 For if anyone thinks he is something when he is
nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one examine his own work . . . do
not be decieved. God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will
also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh (lusts) shall from the flesh
reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit shall from the Spirit
reap eternal life. Galatians 6:3,4, 7,8 For consider your calling, brethren that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong. I Co 1:26, 27 |
