“Though I walk in the midst of trouble;
You preserve my life;
You stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies,
And Your right hand delivers me.”  Psalm 138:7

We live in a world where trouble, confusion and hostilities abound.  How wonderful to know that we are under the watchful eye of our heavenly Father who protects us.  Psalm 138 is a song of David’s giving thanks to God for answering his prayer.
“On the day I called, You answered me;
My strength of soul You increased.”  Vs. 3

We have that assurance of God’s care and protection because we are His in Christ Jesus.  How awesomely blessed we are!
Just look at what 2 Peter 1:3-4 has to says,
“His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.  Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption of the world caused by evil desires.”
Thank you!!

What about these promises?
They are assured by divine ability:
Speaking of Abraham concerning what God had promised,
“No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God …fully convinced that God was able to do what He had promised.”  
Romans 4:20-21

The promises are grounded in Christ Jesus:
“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.”  2 Corinthians 1:20

The divine promises culminate in eternal life:
“And this is the promise He made to us--eternal life.”  1 John 2:25

Here are some promises made to Believers--
Salvation:
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation 
to everyone who believes…”  Romans 1:16

Eternal life:
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”  John 3:16-17

Son ship:
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become Children of God, to those who believe in His name.”  John 1:12

Power for service:

With the writer of Hebrews,
“So we can confidently say,
‘The Lord is my helper,
 I will  not fear;
 What can man do to me?”  Hebrews 23:6

Oh Lord, we thank You and rejoice in You always!  You are everything to us; our all in all!  We need nothing more!  Amen
