Every night is a promise for the day to come. I pray before selecting the one that the Lord guides me to. My interpretation of these promises are not meant to be an explanation of their meaning but rather an expansion on how I believe they speak to my life or those around me. Here is one from the first days my friend, daily telephone and devotional partner, took up new residence, where a telephone line was at the minimum 5 weeks away

Day 7 (a promise I had some time before - re-posted)

Isaiah 41:10 

Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Five Faithful Promises

 

For all the times where they might have been fear

I think of His promise to always be near

Very many times I might have felt alone

Earnestly I pray and I’m never on my own

 

Fear thou not He said, and promised “I am with thee;”

And right away His power is within me

I no longer tremor or feel terrified

There is no fear when with the Lord I confide

He promised “I am your God,” be not dismayed

For all the times I needed Him here, He came when I prayed

Under the lowest times He promised “I will strengthen thee”

Lifted me up from faintness and put might in my body

 

Praise God for the promises He always keeps

Raises me from bed in the morn from my restful sleeps

Oh Lord you promised “I will help thee,”

My days have been made better and especially

I now enjoy the beauty in all things you made

Such beauties that once passed me by when no attention was paid

Even with all this you know life might still bring me stress

So you promised “I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness”
