God's Ten Promises To You
By Kori Ashton
#1. I will be your God when all other gods fail you,
hurt you, and leave you. Put me first in all you do and peace is
yours – Guaranteed!
#2. I am the only example in Life that you need to follow. I am
the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
#3. If you call on my name in a time of need, my name will hold
power and comfort. Use my name in a righteous way and victory is
yours.
#4. You will have a good work ethic and success will be yours if
you work when I tell you and rest when I tell you. Your life will
have balance.
#5. If you respect those in authority over you, you will have a
long life and you will be respected.
#6. You’ll never be tortured at night with a guilty conscience
if you don’t plot to hurt someone.
#7. You’ll never have a broken marriage if you and your spouse
honor me in your relationship and home.
#8. You’ll never have to figure out how to hide anything if
you don’t take what isn’t yours.
#9. You’ll never be a gossip if you don’t talk badly
or falsely about your friends.
#10. You’ll never want for anything if you learn that what
I give you is plenty and perfect. My grace is sufficient for YOU!
Recognize these promises? They are from the Ten Commandments.
Amazing how much more receptive we are of God’s commands when
they seem to be turned into beautiful promises. Many times we tend
to hear the negative side of religion, and focus on all the “Thou
Shalt Not’s” in the Bible. Did you know that every commandment
in the Bible is for a reason and has your best intentions at heart?
Remember God is a loving God who wants us to succeed and prosper.
He knows our most intimate fears and dreams. Put Him first and your
life will surely be blessed!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for the
promises in your Word. Thank you for wanting the best for me. Please
help me to follow the guidelines you’ve set and help me hear
your Holy Spirit as you guide my life. Amen
Disclaimer - Please don't allow anyone - not even
us - to dictate your walk with Christ. When you stand before the
Lord - you will stand before Him alone. You, alone, will be accountable
for your actions. It's a serious responsibility. So dig into the
Bible for yourself and challenge your heart to find the truth -
not YOUR truth but God's truth for you. The Word says to seek and
you will find, knock and it will be opened.
