Early last month God instructed me to write this month's blog about promises. Uncertain as to why, God gradually began to place different reasons in front of me through: scriptures, songs, a sermon from my pastor, and a book that I noticed sitting in my grandmother’s room entitled “Bible Promises For You” just before I began to write the blog. As we are in the month of November I believe that God wants us to continuously remember His promises and trust that they will be fulfilled according to His will.
One of my favorite verses in the bible where God reassures us that He will faithfully keep His promises is Psalms 89:34 NLT, “No, I will not break my covenant; I will not take back a single word I said.” This verse is a testament to the fact that God does not make empty promises, His word is His bond, and He is always reliable.

God’s promises are rooted in the word, His promises are true, His promises are always fulfilled, and His promises are our guidance. “God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?” (Numbers 23:19 NLT). This month I challenge everyone reading this blog to keep God’s promises rooted in the foundation of your life. Throughout the month begin to think of promises that God has already fulfilled in your life, then intentionally begin to search God’s word for His promises as well. Once you find His promises in the word and have thought about promises He has already fulfilled in your life, begin to write them down somewhere and stand on those promises through daily prayers thanking God for what has been done and for what will be done.
Below is a song that God exposed me to last month about His promises. It is called “Promises (Your Word Will Stand) by For All Seasons. This song has truly been an incredible blessing. Shortly after hearing the song and playing it on repeat in my car, my pastor preached about the benefits of corporate worship and how there is a promise attached to your worship. My pastor went on to mention how your worship is what is going to give you the victory. Before you say the prayer below, I want you to take a few moments, close your eyes, listen to the song and begin to worship God. If you don’t know where to start, or what that might even mean, simply start out by thanking God for all of the things that begin to come to your mind as you hear the song. Although you may physically be in worship alone, know that there are other people who will read this blog and worship as well which solidifies this as a corporate worship. As soon as the song ends immediately delve into the prayer below.
Prayer:
