Doxologies: Promises

Julie StanosDoxologies, WorshipFebruary 25, 2021 Leave a comment0
But according to His promise we are looking for new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. 2 Peter 3:13

During a time in which we are so keenly aware of the frail human condition, we are especially prone to spend our prayer and worship time in lamentation (Psalm 6:6) or simply wander off in despair (Proverbs 20:6).  Promises, a bold declaration of God’s faithfulness through the ages, puts the truth of God’s character at the forefront and brings me back to a place of worship through praise, joy, confidence and peace that passes understanding with its reminder of God’s unwavering covenant from generation to generation (Genesis 17:7).  It comes as a blessing and sweet reminder of God’s inherent goodness (Psalm 25:8) and His promise to complete the work that He begins (Philippians 1:6).  

Our God is faithful (Hebrews 13:8, Psalm 89:8) even when we struggle (2 Timothy 2:13).  It’s simply who He is, part of His very nature and character (Psalm 92:15).  His mercies are new each morning, His love never fails or ceases (Lamentations 3:22-23) and His promises are true (1 Kings 8:56): yesterday, today and tomorrow (Hebrews 13:8).  It is my prayer that, as we sing these words together, we will fix our eyes upon Christ Jesus in a posture of adoration, praise and thanksgiving – authentically and humbly exalting Him and resting on the firm foundation of His word (Luke 6:47-49, 1 Corinthians 3:11).  May we, this body of believers, truly put our trust in Jesus in every sense: remaining steadfast as the trials of this world come and go (James 1:12, Romans 12:12) – and impacting those around us with the deep, steadfast and abiding love of Christ Jesus in our daily lives and interactions (Matthew 28:16-20).

From the rising sun to the setting same, 
I will praise Your name
In every season, great is Your faithfulness to me
Great is Your faithfulness to me
Great is Your faithfulness to me
