James 1:12
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Standing on the Promises
R. Kelso Carter
Standing on the promises of Christ my King,
Thru eternal ages let His praises ring!
Glory in the highest I will shout and sing-
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail;
By the living word of God I shall prevail-
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword-
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit's call,
Resting in my Saviour as my all in all-
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour;
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God.
This being said, I pose a challenge to everyone for this year. As you read your Bible, write down all the promises that you come across. At the end of the year, see how many you found. Let me know in a comment on my last post of the year or my first one next year.
I love that hymn too! I'll try to remember to take that challenge! Say, I just ran across the blog of a young lady nearly our age, who is very similar to ourselves: http://byhisgraceandforhisglory.blogspot.com
