The word that came to mind was PROMISE.
Promise is defined as:
a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen.
a declaration or assurance that one will do a particular thing or that a particular thing will happen.
This is a passage we read this week....2 Peter1:3,4
His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life 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, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

This one is encouraging to me....2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
Over the Christmas holidays, our church had given out a little sticker puzzle to count down the days until Christmas. Each day had a different passage or activity and then you put a sticker on that day. One of them talked about the promises of God, and it was good to talk about this. There are so many promises God gives us in the Bible. We need to remember these in our lives!
Have a day of blessings!

Such an amazing promise of all we've been given Bethany! Thank you so much for sharing these rich passages! Our family is in Arizona for several days and I'm late in adding all the verses. Blessings!
