God's Promises Faith Blog Hop

Welcome to the God's Promises Faith Blog Hop.  If you arrived here from Nicole - http://scrapmethis.blogspot.com you are in the right place.  If you just arrived at my blog, you should go to Paper Tree House Studio (www.mypapertreehouse.blogspot.com) in order to start at the beginning.  Every month a group of brave women get together to showcase the Glory of God.  This month we want to showcase His faithfulness during trying times, so kick back, relax and let the Lord touch your heart with His Truth! 

Did you know that there are 1260 promises in the Bible?  I did not count them myself, but am blown away by the fact that each and every promise the Lord gives, He is faithful to fulfill.  It is pretty easy to believe this when times are easy and abundance surrounds our lives, but is that the same when trouble hits?

The Bible says that our hearts are deceitful above all things and then it adds WHO CAN TRUST IT? Have you ever considered that maybe the reason why we dont trust God is because we spend more time looking at how big the waves in our lives have become and forget that God created the entire UNIVERSE with just His breath...  Think about it, the Lord spoke the ENTIRE World into existence... the only thing created that was made with His hands was man and woman.  That is why He says that if He provides for the birds and the plants, how much more to His children?  You are precious to the Lord and He will not fail you, even when it feels He might. 

In this hop you will read the stories of women like you that have faced trouble and probably even lacked the faith to believe in the miracle the Lord performed at the very end! Our prayer is that you would open your heart to the Truth found in these promises and that you would even share with us what God has done in your life.  Your victory may become our hope... :)

During the hop you will find many chances to win prizes! All you have to do to be considered for one of those prizes is leave a comment and become a follower of the blogs you will hop through.  For the Grand Prizes , make sure to leave a comment, become a follower, and "LIKE" Paper Tree House on Facebook.  This will allow you to find out about future hops we will be having.

God's Fulfilled Promise in my life:
I have enjoyed a great life that God has given me and even though there have been hard times and great times God's word and his promises guide me though life. The Bible says he will never leave us and this is something we need to remember during the hard times and good times. I have this little layout of my third son he is a joy so much fun. I think he was the hardest pregnancy I have had yet, I thank God because even though it was hard it could have been worse and he kept me during the hard times. God has promised me as his child to have a life here on earth of Joy and if God has promised you something don't let anyone or anything take that promise away. Trust he is faithful! 
Make sure to leave a comment about God Promise in your life and you will be entered to also win a little Rak from me.

  2. Thanks for you story.
    And such a sweet layout.

    Thanks for saying that we don't need to let others tell us otherwise, when God had a promise for us. It's sometimes so easy to listen to people and let us take us down in a negative spiral. But when God promises us something, He will do it.
    Keep the faith :-)

    God bless,

    Wendy

  3. sweet layout! Durring all my problems and struggles with my health I lean on Isiah 40:10 Its one of my favorite verses.

    So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
