Sometimes I need to be reminded of how blessed I am by the promises of God. How about you?

Tuesday I ventured to the Florence Farmer’s Market with my in-laws. When I stepped out of the vehicle I was overwhelmed by the vibrant colors. As we walked through the stands of fruits and vegetables, God convicted me to reflect on the promises of the Bible, beginning with the covenant God made marked by a rainbow in the sky.

“So God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth.””
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭9:17‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Read Genesis 9 for the full story.

This Thankful Thursday I encourage you to look up some promises of God and find one to carry with you today. Let that promise speak into your current situation. Allow the words of God to strengthen, encourage and give you comfort. Every time you think of the promise today, offer up words of praise and thanksgiving to God.

Here are a few promises to get you started.

“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“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 ‭NIV‬‬

“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭11:28‬ ‭NIV‬‬

““I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.””
‭‭John‬ ‭16:33‬ ‭NIV‬‬
