Standing on the Promises

Russel Kelso Carter was a professor in the Pennsylvania Military College of Chester. While there, he was licensed to preach by the Methodist Episcopal Church. This man wrote a hymn that has been a blessing to Christians for over a century.

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.

Here are some amazing promises:

Psalm 32:8

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

Hebrews 13:5

Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Jeremiah 29:11

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”  

Great promises. Stand on them. Give it some thought.
