Welcome to These Promises.
The version I am reading from is The Message.
There are thousands of promises listed in the books of the Bible,
Which span a wide range of topics,
A few of which cover money,
Belief,
Belonging,
Anxiety,
And hope.
In this message,
I am merely sharing 44 scriptures,
Which I hope will provide a measure of encouragement as you continue to mull them over within.
Enjoy dear listener,
And may your day be filled with overflowing,
Beauty-filled moments.

Never desert his precious people.

And so the weaker I get,
The stronger I become.
1 Corinthians 10 13 No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face.

Promise 44 1 Corinthians 13 4-7 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,
But I don't love,
I've gotten nowhere.
So no matter what I say,
What I believe,
And what I do,
I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn't want what it doesn't have.
Love doesn't strut,
Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always me first.
Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn't revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
