Take hold and seize as your own the promises of God. Strengthen your hold, your grip, on them as you meditate en proclaim them. Let faith comes as you keep hearing His words to you. Bind them around your neck, close to your heart, and do not forget them. Think on them. Share them. Know them.

I challenge you to share some of these with someone today. Meditate on some, learn them off by heart. Let them take up space in your mind today. Allow the promises of God’s word to minister hope to the desolate places in your heart. Allow the word to wash you.

I pray that through these scriptures you will see anew the amazing kindness and goodness in His heart, that the scope of His intentions towards you will be laid open and that you will truly see Him.
