R. Kelso Carter wrote these hymn lyrics;
Standing
on the promises that cannot fail
When
the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By
the living word of GOD I shall prevail
Standing
on the promises of GOD
Standing
on the promises of CHRIST the LORD
Bound
to Him eternally by love’s strong cord
Overcoming
daily with the spirit’s sword
Standing
on the promises of GOD.
GOD’s promises are in his words. The bible says He
honors his words more than his name. Isaiah
55 vs. 11: So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth; it shall not
return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall
prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. A man’s promises fail, but GOD’s
promises never fail. Isaiah 40 vs. 8: The
grass withers, the flower fades; but the word of our GOD shall stand forever.
We are to stand on GOD’s promises which can be found in his word. When in
difficulty or facing any challenges GOD’s promises are there in his word to
make us overcome; we are to stand on them. When in challenges standing on words
like For I know that my Redeemer liveth,
and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. The LORD is my light
and my salvation, who shall I fear. But you O LORD, are a shield for me, my
glory, and the lifter up of my head. There is no wisdom nor counsel, nor
understanding against the LORD. I know that you can do everything and that no
thought can be withheld from you. I shall decree a thing, and it shall be
established to me; and the light shall shine upon my ways. When men are cast
down, then I shall say; There is lifting up, and He shall save the humble
person. Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why are you disquieted in me?
hope you in GOD; for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.
These are just few promises from GOD’s word, work on the word by standing on
them in faith when faced by challenges and difficulties. Only by his word can
we prevail. Only by standing on his word in faith can we overcome.
2 Corinthians 1 vs. 20:
For all the promises of GOD in Him are Yea, and in Him Amen, to the glory of
GOD by us. GOD is the FAITHFUL WHO HAD PROMISED, His promises
are faithful and fails not. His promises in JESUS were fulfilled. Paul said to
quench the fiery darts of the wicked and overcome storms, trials, difficulties,
problems; we must take the shield of faith, take the helmet of salvation and
the sword of the spirit, which is the word of GOD. Ephesians 6 vs. 16-17: Above all, taking the shield of faith, where
with you shall be able to quench all fiery darts of the wicked. And take the
helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of GOD.
Standing on GOD’s promises is having faith in his word. Faith without work is
dead and it is impossible to please GOD without faith. Work on the word by
standing in faith in the word. Kindly, share with others. It is well with us….
