PROMISES, PROMISES . . .

Promises—so what are we supposed to do?

+Be still – – –

– – – and know that I am God.

+Humble yourselves – – –

– – – and He will exalt you.

+Cast all your care on Him – – –

– – – for He cares for you.

+Call upon Me in the day of trouble – – –

– – – I will deliver you. (Remember—and you will glorify Me.)

+(1) Trust in the Lord with all your heart – – –

+(2) Do not lean on your own understanding – – –

+(3) In all your ways acknowledge Him – – –

– – – and He will direct your paths.

+Draw near to God – – –

– – – and He will draw near to you.

+Resist the devil – – –

– – – and he will flee from you. (That means draw near to God first—then resist the devil successfully.)

Finally—just a fact, to accept—

+Many are the afflictions of the righteous

– – -but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
