God's Promises

Your lowest points are launching pads to God's greatest promotions. I came across this sentence twice just when I am in a job transition, strangely the SMS came to me on Aug 25 2011, but it really spoke to me in Oct when I needed it and weird that I will keep the SMS since usually I would delete after reading it. 'The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trust in Him and I am helped.' Psalms 28:7 I found the exact same phrase in Ps Prince's 100 days of Favor. 'Don't be discouraged by your current circumstances. I know things may sometimes appear bleak, dismal and perhaps even devastating, but...God is saying this to you: "Don't give up. It ain't over!" ' God is good...He prepares the way even though back then I didn't see it yet. Thank you Lord for causing me to see what is truly important and what your call for my life is.

'That's why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good.' Romans 8:28 (The Message) 'Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.' Psalm 37:4 (Amplified) 'So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.' Psalm 90:12 (NKJV) Here is a man who applied powerful biblical truths in his life one way or another though he is not a Christi...
