LEARNING TO COUNT ON GOD’S PROMISES – PROVERBS 3:5-10

Counting on the Lord’s promises is one sure way to guarantee survival at every phase of life. Nothing is more assuring like what God has promised.

To count on Him implies relying on everything He has spoken concerning you and me. And receiving them as the surest way to get going in life.

In 2 Corinthians 1:20, God’s word says ‘’For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.’’(KJV) For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so, through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. (NIV). Therefore, the assurance of God’s promises is made perfect in Christ.

How then do we count on God’s blessing?

1. God demand absolute trust from all His children for them to enjoy the divine promise. Without trusting God, nothing can be received. Trusting in the promises of God starts with trusting God for who He says He is. Psalm 145:13 says: “The Lord is trustworthy in all his promises and faithful in all he does.” As we begin to trust Him in His character and attributes, we see His incredible power translating into His actions.
2. Leaning on the wisdom of God above earthly wisdom and knowledge will go a long way to access God’s promises and enjoy the covenant-backed promises. Gen.26:3-4;12-13. God’s wisdom is divine and surpasses all other wisdom- James 3:17-18; 1:17.
3. Living according to the will of God commit the integrity of God to do what He says He will do. No short cut can bring God to fulfill His specific blessing to His children but only who walk uprightly in consonance with His law and will. – Deut. 28:1-2; II Chron. 7:14-14
