What are the promises of God in the Bible to His followers?
Why do they matter?
How does knowing them change us?
Over the course of the summer, I felt God prompting me often about His promises to me. Sometimes it would be a Bible verse that just popped into my head or a lyric from a worship song or words that leapt off the page while I was reading them.
God has given us His great and precious promises to give us hope, joy, peace, wisdom and strength for whatever we are facing in our day.
It breaks my heart to know that so many Christian women out there are DESPERATE for goodness like this in their lives, but they honestly just don’t know.
They don’t know what God has promised them. They don’t know where to find a promise in the Bible. They feel doubtful if some promises are even for THEM, really.
I hope that this list of 15 promises of God in Scripture will encourage your heart today.
How many promises of God are there in the Bible?
In the book All the Promises of the Bible, the author Herbert Locklear found 7,147 promises from God to man in the Bible.
That is a lot of promises.
Which leads us to the other end of the spectrum of having an overwhelming amount of promises and not even knowing what to do with them.
That’s why I created my 30 Days to Claiming the Promises of God Bible Study carefully choosing the promises I found most powerful for today’s Christian women and spending 30 days immersed and meditating on God’s promises to us.
These promises of God are for busy moms with littles, teenage girls trying to find their way, Grandma’s looking for reminders for God’s goodness and everyone in between.
