FOREVER PROMISES

Psalm 146:1-2, 5-6,10 (Nlt)

Praise the Lord! Let all that I am praise the Lord.

 I will praise the Lord as long as I live, 

I will sing praises to my God with my dying breath.

But joyful are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, 

whose hope is in the Lord their God. 

v.6 He made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. 

He keeps every promise forever. 

v.10 Praise the Lord!

This psalm starts and ends with the phrase "Praise the Lord!" and in between the Psalmist lists some of the reasons why. It makes a great read. We have every reason to be joyful when we have God as our helper regardless of anything that may or may not be happening in our lives.

God is so much bigger than it all and He's in control of our lives so we can wholeheartedly give Him all our praise because He is worthy of it all. 

The word I heard in my spirit from the Lord as I woke today was "Don't let go of the promises", and did you notice the end of verse 6? - He keeps every promise forever. His promises are not time sensitive, they're not temporary, they don't come and go. No, they are forever. 

I hope that encourages us all today. As we look back at the list of promises we found earlier in the week we can have total confidence, not just that they belong to us and that we've not to let them go, but that they are ours forever.

As the Psalmist says PRAISE THE LORD!😊
