The Bible is truly a treasure.

In it you can learn about who God is, how He feels about you, and what He wants for your life.

I never cease to be amazed when I read the books of the Bible. Lately I’ve been reading through the books of Isaiah and the Psalms to see what God’s promises are for me (and you!). The Psalms and Isaiah contain some of the most deep, thought-provoking, and comforting messages from God.

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.”

-Isaiah 43:18-19

*It is better not to dwell on what you cannot change but to look forward to what God has in store for your future. He can make a way through any desert and any wasteland!

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

-Isaiah 41:10

*When you realize how BIG God is and how POWERFULLY He works in your life, you will realize you have nothing to fear because He is wise enough and strong enough to take care of your every need.

“You hear, O Lord, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry.” -Psalm 10:17

*God is near to those who are hurting and who need an encouraging word. He is the best Comforter!

“I will lie down and sleep in peace, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.” -Psalm 4:8

*The Bible says that God watches over us as we sleep (Psalm 121). What a comforting thought! Our Father in Heaven watches out for us, even when we are sleeping. With that knowledge, we can sleep in peace.

“Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; burst into song, O mountains! For the Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones.” -Isaiah 49:13

*We can rejoice in any and every situation because we have a God who is compassionate and knows our every need and will take care of us. In any affliction you experience, God promises to have compassion on you and comfort you.

“But now, this is what the Lord says – he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you Israel: ‘Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’” -Isaiah 43:1

*Knowing that the Creator of the whole universe calls you His very own can bring the most amazing peace and joy that nothing else in this world can compare to. He stands ready to redeem all who want to be in right relationship with Him. All you have to do is tell Jesus you need Him and want to be near Him.

Who wouldn’t want to seek after this amazing God who cares so much for His creation? I have fallen in love with Jesus, and it happened because I gave Him a chance to prove that His promises are true. Are you willing to give Jesus a chance to prove that these promises above as well as every promise in His word is true?
