praying the promises.

i'm still in central texas.
it's been 11 days.
it's been fresh air.
to get away, spend time with friends + family.

but more than all of that, it's somehow given me fresh eyes & a new passion for the Word of God.

I've been sitting in one of my favorite waco coffee shops (holla common grounds!) spending time in prayer & in the Word and I just had to start this Monday out with some promises from gods word.

A few weeks ago, Mike Goeke (from our church, Stonegate Fellowship) taught about spending time in the scriptures.  and writing down the promises of god as you are studying the Word and I've been doing it and it's been amazing.

from my reading in Isaiah 43 (Austin Stone's REAP plan)

We were created for Gods glory

we were formed and made by the Lord

we are Gods witnesses

There is NO ONE but God - not before or after

The Lord is my REDEEMER

He is doing a NEW thing

We were formed BY God 
that we might DECLARE his praise

He BLOTS OUT our transgressions
(for his own sake!)

He DOES NOT REMEMBER OUR SINS!!

Rest and trust in these beautiful promises this week
