Promises Promises...

Hey everyone!

First I want to say I hope everyones new year is off to a great start! How many resolutions have you broken yet?! haha!

We all make resolutions...stuff we don't want to do anymore, or stuff we commit to doing. How many gym memberships are purchased at the beginning of the year, never to be used ever again?! :)

The thing I've been thinking about in all these resolutions is how many of us have expectations for the new year? Things we are believing God for and expecting to happen?

I have TONS of things I am believing God for and I have faith they will happen. Not because I present them to God like a wish list to Santa, but because I know they line up with His Word and I know He is faithful to those who serve Him. :)

What are you expecting God to do in 2011?

I love Psalm 91...I was reading it yesterday and verse 4 says "He will cover you with His feathers. He will shelter you with His wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection."

The Bible is FULL of Gods promises and all we have to do is read it! I keep His promises alive in my heart by reading them, thanking Him for them and reminding myself of them even when I dont' see them coming to life in front of me everyday.
There will be times when what we see from day to day definitely doesn't line up with what His Word tells us. But Psalm 91:4 reminds me that He covers me in his wings and His promises are my protection.
What do I need to fear??

2010 had bumps and bruises for me, as I'm sure it did for you, but it didn't stop me from expecting BIG things and even BIGGER things in 2011. No matter what comes my way I know I can continue to believe God for amazing things because He shelters me and His promises protect me.

So when trials come, which they will, remember His promises for you and know He has BIG AMAZING WONDERFUL things for you....always be expecting!!
