Shoes of Peace

There are over 2000 promises written in the Bible.  And when you make the decision to become a Christian, a little Christ, a follower of Jesus, God equips you with life-saving shoes of peace.  If you can imagine a pair of cleets, these shoes also have pegs, each one representing a promise of God.  With well over 2000, these shoes without a doubt ground you and keep you from slipping, stumbling, and falling when the enemy is inevitably after you in this game of life. 

Some of these promises:
God loves you.
Jesus died for you.
Your sins are forgiven.
God is your ever-present help in trouble.
You are a new creation in Christ.
Jesus is the bread of life.
The Lord gives wisdom. 
He heals the broken-hearted.
He will direct your paths.
He will swallow up death in victory.
The Lord upholds you with His hand.
God does not tempt you, but always provides a way out when you are.
He created you.
He puts His Spirit within you.
Whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive. 
All scripture is God-breathed.
Jesus was wounded for your transgressions.
If you believe in Him, you will have everlasting life.
You are without excuse.
No eye has seen the things which God has prepared for you who love Him.
And my favorite: Jesus is coming back for you.

If you're already a Christian, remember these promises and receive God's peace that surpasses all understanding.  If you want these promises, become a follower of Jesus and they will be yours today!
