#SSBJC2023 Standing On The Promises of God

Hey Sweet Friends,

Here’s the history of this lovely hymn, the words and a video.

Love and prayers….k 🙂

“Standing on the Promises” was written and composed, in 1886, while Russell Carter was serving as a professor in the Pennsylvania Military Academy, a school in which he had been a member of the first graduating class. The rhythmic martial tone of the hymn’s music possibly reflects Mr. Carter’s military academy experience.

A believer’s stability for this life as well as his confidence for eternity rests solely on the written promises of God’s Word.

It is this reminder of a Christian’s daily dependence upon the promises of God that has made this straight-forward, rhythmical gospel hymn a favorite with God’s people for the past century.

Lyrics:

  1. Standing on the promises of Christ my King,

Through eternal ages let His praises ring!

Glory in the highest I will shout and sing-

Standing on the promises of God.

CHORUS:

Standing, Standing,

Standing on the promises of God, my Savior!

Standing, Standing,

I’m standing on the promises of God.

  1. Standing on the promises that cannot fail

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail;

By the living word of God I shall prevail-

Standing on the promises of God.

  1. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,

Bound to Him eternally by love’s strong cord,

Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword-

Standing on the promises of God.

  1. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,

Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,

Resting in my Savior as my all in all-

Standing on the promises of God.

Hello Sweet Friends,

A quick note to let you all know I am fine. I have had a bit of a health issue and need to rest. Many of you have messaged and emailed…thank you so very very much for your concern and prayers. This little hiccup is just requiring more rest than I had planned!! 😉

My hope was to be back today. I have rested today and hope to be back filming tomorrow.

I have posted many pictures of the gardens and things we have been doing in the last couple of months. Please feel free to go take a peek. https://www.instagram.com/josephinesdesigns/  God is so good!! 🙂

God has a plan and I am so thankful for all who have been so kind and helpful during these days!! We are as I say many times in my videos…”La Familia”. And all of your kind words and encouragements again let me know how true that is for our little YouTube channel family.

Please be safe and take good care of yourselves.

Keep serving the Lord well….hugs and prayers,

k 🙂

Today’s Encouragement: Treasure in Your Trials • Dr. Tony Evans

sunset-hands-love-woman.jpg

Hi Dear  Friends,

It is Palm Sunday.

A day that is different than any other Palm Sunday in my life.

A day full of stress and irritation is how it started here.

A day that I can choose to give in or move on…even though those around me at times are frustrating beyond all words. And yes, I can too be that person.

Who do I trust? God and God alone.

He is perfect and He is the answer in a time of not many answers.

How do you feel this day?

Who do you have your hope in?

Who do you trust?

May I encourage you as I seek the Lord to encourage me…

Matthew 6:33 King James Version (KJV)

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Dr. Evans encouragement: Jeremiah 29:11

Jeremiah 29:11 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

11 For I know the plans that I [a]have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.

Let us focus on the Lord as his world right now has given us less than hope….my hope is in the Lord!!!

Hope according to Dr. Evans: expectation about the future….

Jesus is my hope and my hope alone. Let us keep seeking Him…focus on Him and trust Him in our futures…our hope.

Be safe Sweet Friends, keep serving Him well!!

Love, prayers and hugs,

k

Today’s Encouragement: Facing Uncertain Times with Dr. David Jeremiah: Is the Coronavirus in Bible Prophecy?

Hello Dear Friends,

This is a very interesting message. What do you think? Where do you think we are in history?

Are you ready? Do you know Jesus as Savior? If not, feel free to email me. Or simply, confess your sin and ask Jesus to be the Lord of your life.

John 3:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His [a]only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

Proverbs 3:5-6 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Lots to think on for sure!!

Love, prayers and hugs,

k
