* Meditation Scriptures: Promises from God



 
This Podcast is a recording of various promises from God which are written for us in both the Old and New Testament Bibles.

The apostle Peter says:

2 Peter 1:2-4   Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,

3 According as HIS divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of  HIM that hath called us to glory and virtue:

4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

And in Joshua 1 we read the following promise:  8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Psalm 1 tells the same thing about meditating in the Word of God.

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in HIS law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

I find these recorded scriptures helpful to use as I am going to bed at night.  Or when I am relaxing from previous work.  Or you might listen to them while taking a bath.  Or you might use this recording of the promises of God when you are in the kitchen.  Or you could use them while driving down the street.

Our faith in God is helped as we consider the promises God has given to us in the Bible.
