“God always keeps his promises” (Num. 23:19 CEV). “There is no question that he will do what he says” (Heb. 10:23 TLB).
He has given us “great and precious promises” (2 Pet. 1:4). Let’s take a peek at a handful of them under five headings.
Guidance
Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths (Prov. 3:6 NLT).
Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go (Josh. 1:9 NLT).
I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you (Isa. 41:10 NLT).
My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness (2 Cor. 12:9).
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you (Matt. 7:7).
Assurance
God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Ps. 46:1).
Trust me in your times of trouble, and I will rescue you (Ps. 50:15 NLT).
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life (Ps. 138:7).
The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps. 27:1 ESV).
God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid (Isa. 12:2).
God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never forsake you” (Heb. 13:5 NLT).
Forgiveness
Praise the Lord, my soul, and do not forget how kind he is. He forgives all my sins … As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us (Ps. 103:2-3, 12 TEV).
I have swept away your offenses like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist … I have redeemed you (Isa. 44:22).
I wipe away your sins because of who I am. And so, I will forget the wrongs you have done (Isa. 43:25 CEV).
There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Rom. 8:1).
I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine (Isa. 43:1 ESV).
Peace
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you … do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid (Jn. 14:27).
You will keep in perfect peace all who trust in you (Isa. 26:3 NLT).
In this world you will have trouble, but be brave! I have defeated the world (Jn. 16:33 NCV).
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest (Matt. 11:28).
God’s peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Phil. 4:7 NCV).
I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age. I made you, and I will care for you. I will carry you along and save you (Isa. 46:4 NLT).
Victory
The Lord will work out his plans for my life (Ps. 138:8 NLT).
You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble (Ps. 32:7).
The God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast (1 Pet. 5:10).
What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later (Rom. 8:18 NLT).
You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory (Ps. 73:24).
And this is what he promised us—even eternal life (1 Jn. 2:25).
