Count On It!

DAY 28- Proverbs 30

"Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him." -v5

Every promise that God made to us is true. His Word is perfect and flawless. It's not enough just to believe that fact- we need to count on it. I rely on His promises just to make it through each day!

A friend of mine recently reminded me of one of God's promises that, quite honestly, had slipped my mind. On this particular day I really needed to claim that promise. I was struggling against feelings of despair and frustration. You see, for a long time I had been praying for God to do a mighty work in my life and in my circumstances. I felt God was absolutely going to bless me by changing those circumstances, but was beginning to wonder if He had changed His mind or forgotten about His promise. It didn't appear to me that He was working on the situation at all!

This particular day I really needed to be reminded of this promise, "He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it." That's a very powerful promise! God was working on my situation right then and promised to complete that work! All I need to do is remain faithful and claim promises. He will complete the work He's begun in me. His word is flawless and I can count on that!
