PROMISE 41 – STABILITY

"The children of your servants will continue, and their descendants will be established before you". – Psalm 102:28

To be established means to be made firm and stable. This world is quite the opposite; it is a very unpredictable place. One day everything can be wonderful, and the next day disaster can strike. Notable past events easily prove this: Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and Hurricane Katrina, just to name a few. But no matter what happens, those who walk with God can be steady, unafraid, and undeterred concerning their purpose. Many promises in Scripture confirm this. One stands out: "But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one" (2 Thess3:3). This passage reveals the mystery behind our security. We can expect stability in our lives and the lives of our children simply because God is stable. He is unchanging. He is faithful to the principles that rule his kingdom, to those who love him, and to their offspring. Our seed are established before God. He constantly keeps our children under his surveillance and is always ready to intervene on their behalf.

PRAYER DECLARATION

LORD, THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THE SOURCE OF STABILITY. I DECLARE OVER MY HOUSEHOLD, "GOD IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP IN TROUBLE. THEREFORE WE WILL NOT FEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE EARTH BE REMOVED, AND THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS BE CARRIED INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEA" (Ps 46:1-2). YES, EVEN IN TIMES OF CATACLYSMIC UPHEAVAL WE CAN TRUST IN YOU AND BE UNMOVED. I CLAIM THIS KIND OF STABILITY FOR MYSELF AND FOR MY CHILDREN. I BELIEVE YOU WILL "ESTABLISH PEACE FOR US", "ESTABLISH THE WORK OF OUR HANDS", AND "ESTABLISH OUR HEARTS BLAMELESS IN HOLINESS BEFORE OUR GOD....AT THE COMING OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST" (Isaiah 26:12; Ps 90:17; 1 Thess 3:13). In the name of Jesus, amen (let it be so!)
