2 Peter 1: 3,4 Precious Promises

I think about the words of a song which I learned in Sunday School about God’s promises.  The words I remember are; “Every promise in the Book is mine, every chapter, every verse, every line”.  Here is the song:

Every Promise In The Book Is Mine
Every promise in the Book is mine
Every chapter, every verse, every line
I'm trusting in His love divine
Every promise in the Book is mine

2 Peter 1: 3,4 says, “His divine powers have given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.  Through these He has given us His very great and precious promises”.  Read this in its context by reading all of chapter 1. 

As I read this, another song which was tucked in my mind and spirit comes to me,

Standing on His Promises   

Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.

When I gave my heart to God, I became a child of The King.  As a child of The King, I inherited great wealth.  God gives His children hundreds of promises in His Word. I cannot know of these promises unless I open up the Book to see and read them for myself.  I hide them in my heart, spirit, and memory in the same way I did with the above childhood songs.  God brings them to my recall when I need them.  I claim the promises, I believe the promises, and I act upon the promises in faith knowing and believing what God says is true.  I believe that His precious promises are for me.
