“If we don’t stand for something we’ll fall for anything!”

I stand for the fact that the Bible does not contain the Word of God, but that the Bible IS the Word of God. (Second Timothy 3:16; Second Peter 1:21 )

Not that I am a great singer, but I like to sing the hymn STANDING ON THE PROMISES . The author of that beautiful hymn is  Russell Kelso Carter, wo lived from 1849-1928.

I am standing on the promises of God.

If you are a reader of the Bible, you must have noticed the phrase “fear not”. I am just learning that the phrase appears 365 times in the Bible. And I don’t need to tell you that there are 365 days in one year. That means that there is one “fear not” for every day of the year.

Here are some promises to stand on:

“‘So do not fear, for I am with you;…'” – Isaiah 41:10

THE LORD IS WITH US!

“‘Do not fear; I will help you.'” – Isaiah 41:13

THE LORD WILL HELP US!

“‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.'” – Isaiah 43:1

THE LORD HAS REDEEMED US! HE KNOWS US BY NAME! WE ARE HIS!

That are only some of the promises. And please remember this: “For no matter how many promises God has made, they are ‘Yes’ in Christ.” – Second Corinthians  1:20

I am not making any promises any more. I don’t need to tell you why.

What do you stand for? Remember the warning: “IF WE DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING WE’LL FALL FOR ANYTHING!”
