2 Peter 1:4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Today’s hymn is probably one of the most sung hymns in my church life; it resonates deeply within. God’s promises cannot be broken; unlike those made by many and broken daily, His word remains steadfast through all life’s circumstances. It is impossible for God to break a promise made to His children, as He is a faithful Father who cares for us unconditionally. That is why we can count on Him to fulfill what He has promised to do. This provides us with hope in these end times, and turning our worries into joy. Each verse of this hymn serves as a reminder of His unwavering commitment to us, encouraging our hearts to trust in His plan as outlined in Scripture.

Numbers 23:19  God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Isn’t it wonderful that we can count on God? People miss out on this marvelous blessing because of their lack of faith. They would rather believe in science than to believe in God. It takes more faith to believe in the big bang theory or the theory of evolution. Something coming from nothing takes more faith to believe than the fact that God created everything! God’s faithfulness is a source of strength and hope for all of us. All of the promises He made with Israel will be fulfilled! This assurance speaks to the goodness of His Word and the depth of His love for His people. Since that is the case, we can be fully confident and assured that the promises to keep us (His Church) until we meet Him in Heaven at our death or at the Rapture will undoubtedly come to pass. Embracing this allows us to find peace in the middle of life’s uncertainties, knowing that we are under His divine protection and that our eternal future is secure in Him.

Joshua 23:14  And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.

Standing on the Promises of God – By Russell Kelso Carter (1886)

1 Standing on the promises of Christ, my King!
Through eternal ages let His praises ring.
“Glory in the highest!” I will shout and sing,
standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:
Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of God, my Savior;
standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail!
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
by the living Word of God I shall prevail,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

3 Standing on the promises, I now can see
perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

4 Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,
bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,
overcoming daily with the Spirit’s Sword,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]

5 Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
list’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,
resting in my Savior as my all in all,
standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
