There are thousands of promises in the Bible. One Southern Gospel song says, “You can’t stand on promises if you don’t know what they are.” Do you know what God promises you as a believer in Christ?

And Moses said to the people, “Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the Lord, which he will work for you today.”

Exodus 14:13

When Israel was about to cross the Red Sea, the Egyptian army was in hot pursuit and they railed against Moses: “Is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to die in the wilderness?” (Exodus 14:11) They had forgotten God’s promise to bring them to a land flowing with milk and honey (Exodus 3:17).

Today, multiple enemies threaten America. As a whole, this country doesn’t seek the Lord, but add your prayers to the multitudes of citizens who still do. Know and trust in His promises. “For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer.” (I Peter 3:12) Pray for U. S. leaders, troops and citizens to get their eyes off human effort and on the Lord, the true deliverer.
