Welcome
to Issue 70, 22nd April 2010
If you are going through personal
difficulties, challenges and troubling temptations, ponder the fabric
of promises that is knitted throughout Scripture. God has made an
eternal covenant with His people, and although we often forget and turn
our back on God, He never turns His back on us.
Claim the
wonderful promises of God in answer to your daily needs. Claim them
also as the strength for what God would have you do for Him.
He
[is] the LORD our God: his judgments [are] in all the earth. He hath
remembered his covenant for ever, the word [which] he commanded to a
thousand generations. Psalm 105:7-8
