The Words of God to Me

I am transferring my journal entries into a new Crossway journal. Currently I am working on in the promise section and decided to group together the promises that are direct quotes from God. It has been a balm to my soul to hear the words of God to me. So here they are for you - A Saturday morning encouragement.

“I, I am he who comforts you;

and laid the foundations of the earth?

“Fear not, for you will not be ashamed;

be not confounded, for you will not be disgraced

and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”

says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

Isa. 54:4,10

“Come, everyone who thirsts,

come to the waters;

and he who has no money,

come, buy and eat!

Come, buy wine and milk

without money and without price.

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?

Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,

and delight yourselves in rich food.

Incline your ear, and come to me;

hear, that your soul may live;

and I will make with you an everlasting covenant,

my steadfast, sure love for David.
