It’s funny how certain dates stand out in your mind.
February 18, 2021.
It was just over a month ago – I was on my way to meet a couple of friends for lunch. I received a call from my friend, Emily Freeman. She asked if I would write a song about promises God has given to covenant Israel.
Maybe the date stuck with me because I was about to eat massaman curry at my favorite Thai place. (Food has that kind of power over me.) Or maybe it was because I always enjoy talking to Emily. But, the truth of it is, I was being given an opportunity to think about the incredible, beautiful, powerful promises God has made to you and me.
“As you study your scriptures during the next six months, I encourage you to make a list of all that the Lord has promised He will do for covenant Israel.” ~President Russell M. Nelson, October 2020 General Conference
Emily emailed me a 3-page list of the promises she had found while studying the scriptures. One of the many things I love about Emily is she takes invitations from the prophet very seriously. She does what He asks. And…she invites others to join her on the journey. (Plus, she has amazing hair and an awesome sense of style. Whoops…getting off track.)
As I poured over the promises, I felt loved and seen by Heavenly Father. My soul filled with gratitude and renewed strength. I felt my faith being elevated as if it was riding in the basket of a hot air balloon. I’m so grateful Emily asked me to write “His Promises” and for prophetic invitations.
The promises are real – they are sure.
God keeps His promises. I believe that.
I hope you feel loved and strengthened as you listen, study and absorb these promises.
