Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.

Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the LORD will inherit the land.

How To Make Your Own Promise Box

2010-11-04T07:20:00.000-07:00

Years ago, my sister and I made gold sparkly promise boxes. When we did our devotions and found a promise of God in scripture, we'd take an index card write down the verse and put it in our promise box. When I went through a hard time and needed some encouragement I'd pull out the gold sparkly promise box to remind me of the precious promises of God. Even to this day, those promises of God have stuck in my head. When I pray, I pray those promises of God and watch Him faithfully answer them. Making a promise box provides a fun way to collect and memorize the promises of God while instilling in our heart and minds the truth and power of God's promised Words.

How To Make Your Own Promise Box

1. Find or Purchase a small box that could hold index cards. I think I found mine at the Dollar Tree for only a buck! If you're creative, you could go to a craft store and buy an unfinished box to decorate your promise box with your own personal touch. You can also purchase plastic boxes that hold index cards at Walmart or find a cute recipe box for your promise box.

2. Decorate your promise box if you need too. You can use markers, crayons, stickers to decorate your promise box. You can use your computer to make up your own stickers for your promise box. The creative ideas are endless.

3. Buy index cards and place them in your promise box. You can use white ones or colored ones. Colored ones make it more fun!

4. Organize the index cards in your promise box. You can organize your promise box by scripture references or by categories such as: Need Direction, Feel Lonely, Need Victory Over Sin... etc. If you don't know of any categories just yet, don't worry you can add them as you add God's promises to your promise box.

5. Begin writing the promises of God on your index cards! If you are going through a hard time and God gives you a promise to stand on be sure to add it to your promise box and on the back of the index card write a short testimony about your personal experience with God and then if you want, please share it with us!!!!! Let us encourage one another in the Lord!!!

Making Promise Box That Can Impact Lives Forever

For family devotions let everyone make their own promise box and then continue to share the promises of God that are added to them. Encourage every family member to pray the promises of God.
For a VBS craft consider making the project a promise box. Let each child design their own with stickers, crayons, and markers. Let the children know how much God loves them and how much we can rely on the promises of God even when everyone around us may let us down at one time or another.
For a Sunday School project. Have a lesson on the promises of God. Perhaps, Noah would be a great lesson to do this with. Talk about the promises of God and share with them that God will faithfully keep His promises.

Jesus Will Still Be There - Claiming Promises Of God

2010-11-02T08:46:00.000-07:00

No Matter What Circumstance You Face Today...

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever!

- Hebrews 13:8

One of my ever favorite songs, "Jesus Will Still Be There" is sung by Point of Grace. When I was facing some hard times, I'd pop this song in and listen to it over and over. For only $.99 you can download this song to your mp3 today at Amazon!

Jesus Will Still Be There Lyrics go like this:

Verse 1:

Things change, plans fail

You look for love on a grander scale

Storm rise, hopes fade

And you place your bets on another day

When the going gets tough

When the ride's too rough

When you're just not sure enough

Chorus:

Jesus will still be there. His love will never change sure as the steady rain. Jesus will still be there when no one else is true He'll still be loving you! When it looks like you've lost it all and you haven't got a prayer Jesus will still be there.

Verse 2:

Time flies, hearts turn

A little bit wiser from lessons learned

But sometimes weakness wins

And you lose your foothold once again

When the going gets tough

When the ride's too rough

When you're just not sure enough

(Repeat Chorus)

Things do change. Plans do fail. Friends or family don't meet your expectations. Relationships crumble, but life still has to go on. The only thing that will never change is Jesus Christ and His Word. He is faithful and will not let you down.

Today let this be your prayer:

Psalm 119:169-175

Let my cry come near before thee, O Lord: give me understanding according to thy word. Let my supplication come before thee: deliver me according to thy word, My lips shall utter praise when thou hast taught me thy statues. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are rightreousnness. Let thine hand help me; for I have chosen thy precepts. I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; and thy law is my delight. Let my soul live, it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me.
