Day 13 - (Today’s Bible readings: Joshua 18:18-31; Psalm 12; Acts 19:21-41)
“The promises of the Lord are promises that are pure,
silver refined in a furnace on the ground,
purified seven times.” (Psalm 12:6 RSV)
There aren’t too many things in this world that are truly pure. Most of our foods have additives. Our water needs to be filtered. Even Ivory soap is only 99 and 44/100% pure.
But God’s promises are 100% pure. And that means that you can trust Him completely. Here are some of those pure gems:
“I will never leave you nor forsake you.” (Hebrews 13:5 ESV)
“Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” (Mark 16:16 ESV)
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” (1 John 1:9ESV)
“Because I live, you also will live.” (John 14:6 ESV)
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your promises! They are truly pure blessings to me. May I always believe them and share them for the rest of my life! Amen.
“See” you at the Communion rail this morning!

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice.
