2 Corinthians 1:20 (ESV)
For all the promises of God find their Yes in him. That
is why it is through him that we utter our Amen to God for his glory.
I read this story tonight and it got me thinking.
When a power plant in a tiny village in Alaska caught
fire one evening, a local fire truck stood, unused, in perfectly working
condition as the plant burnt to the ground. Damage to the plant was great. And
why did this state of the art firetruck go unused? So sad... simply nobody in the
town knew how to operate it.
It made me think. Amidst the everyday fires we face in
our lives, God has given us precious, perfectly good working, state of the art
promises. Unfortunately, it seems that either we are ignorant of them or fail
to know how to operate them!
D.L. Moody says that many of the promises God has given
to His people, to us, "seem to be pretty pictures of an ideal peace and
rest, but are not appropriated as practical helps in daily life. And not one of
these promises is more neglected that the assurance of salvation. An open Bible
places them within reach of all, and we may appropriate the blessing which such
a knowledge brings.”
Are you burning to put God's promises to work in your
life today?? I know I am! Let's get into God's Word, get to know the depth of
His commitment to us, and put His wonderful promises to action! The fires are
raging and there's so much work to be done!
Dear Lord, help us be on fire for You. Help us dig into
Your Word so that we may know what You have for each of us. In the Name of
Jesus, Amen.
