God`s Promises

What God promises God provides.
Luke 12:31 . "But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided for you.
We are all accustomed to promises. We are also accustomed to seeing them made and broken. Anyone who has lived for a number of years would certainly never lay claim to having kept every promise made. There are many reasons why this is true. Sometimes we forget, sometimes we are negligent, and sometimes it may be due to circumstances beyond our control.
God doesn’t withhold any good thing from those who live righteously.” When we place our trust fully in the Lord, He provides the very best for us.
• He has promised to supply every need we have. Philippians 4:19
• God has promised that His grace is sufficient for us. II Corinthians 12:9
• God has promised that His children will not be overtaken with temptation. I Corinthians 10:13.
• God has promised us victory over death. Acts 2:32.
• God has promised that all things work together for good to those who love and serve Him faithfully Romans 8:28.
• God has promised that those who believe in Jesus and are baptized for the forgiveness of sins will be saved. Mark 16:16
• God has Moreover, when God gives any man wealth and possessions, and enables him to enjoy them, to accept his lot and be happy with his work---this is a gift of God." Ecc 5:19.
Jesus told His disciples not to worry about food or clothing (Matt. 6:25-26). Since the Father watches over even the birds of the air, we can certainly count on Him to take care of us.
If you are a follower of Jesus, you have a heavenly Father who is committed to meeting your needs. But what should you do when it seems God isn’t working on your behalf? Fall on your knees before Him and pray, “Lord, show me where I am going wrong, or give me the patience to wait on You if it’s not yet time.
Even when the Father seems far away, He never stops working in your life. God will be faithful to meet your needs at just the right time and in His perfect way. He is able to do “far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:20). The Lord delights in giving you His very best. Simply obey God and leave all the consequences to Him.
When you pursue Jesus and His righteousness given to you as a gift, everything you need will be added to you.
But what is the kingdom of God? Romans 14:17 tells us that it is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. And the kingdom of God dwells within you because the Holy Spirit indwells you. So the kingdom of God is His righteousness, peace and joy in you.
