“This
God – his way is perfect; the promise of the Lord proves true.” Psalm
18:30
Over
the years God made a promise to send a Savior and now it was fulfilled.
The
first word of promise was given in the Garden of Eden just after man lost his
place of privilege and friendship with God.
Rather
than spending a lot of time scolding Adam and Eve, God reached out to
help.
Again
and again through the centuries he reminded the people that he had not
forgotten this promise.
Along
with the promise of a Savior, God gives other promises that are ours to
claim.
He
promises to give strength, to give wisdom, to guide, to give counsel and to
walk with us.
Have we
claimed these promises as our own?
May the banner over this Christmas season read, “The
promises of the Lord prove true.”

left her career in teaching to complete a Masters Degree in counselling, a
ministry which continues to give her much joy and fulfillment. Her
Bible College training along with her experiences as a wife and mother have
given her a heart for women and opened doors for involvement in
women’s ministries, mentoring and speaking at retreats. Serving in
partnership with her husband in international team evangelism has given her
many opportunities to experience ministry in third world countries. A
deep sense of God’s leading prompted her over the years to write inspirational
articles and devotional booklets.
