We believers get excited when talking about God's promises. It is such a blessing to know that God has a promise to address every need of His children. Yet most of the times we forget that promises sometimes come with a commandment. When we look at the list of promises in Deuteronomy 7 it is so marveling. But when looked closely we can see that it is based on the outcome of obedience. Likewise most of God's promises are based on obedience to God's Word and some of them has a context. For instance when Paul said to the Philippians in Phil4:19 (NIV) "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus", he was referring to believers who give graciously to God's work. So believers who claim such promises should be gracious givers.
So let us be careful in obeying God consciously so as to confidently claim His promises in our life. Amen.
2 Peter 1:4 (NIV)
"...he has given us his very great and precious promises..."
Lets be obedient to God to get His promises for us fulfilled...
