THE PROMISES OF GOD
Many are the promises of God. They are heart-warming and precious! They bring such an uplift to the heart! Let us read the following text with much joy.
Do not remember the former things,
Nor consider the things of old.
Behold, I will do a new thing,
Now it shall spring forth;
Shall you not know it?
I will even make a road in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert.
The beast of the field will honour Me,
The jackals and the ostriches,
Because I give waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My people, My chosen.
This people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My praise. Isaiah 43:18-21
