God’s promises are to be the guide and measure of our desires and expectations.
— Matthew Henry
Precious Promises of God
Three things are called precious in the Scriptures: the blood of Christ is called “precious blood,” (1 Peter 1:19); and faith is called “precious faith,” (2 Peter 1:1); and the promises are called “precious promises,” (2 Peter 1:14).

God’s Promises
Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honour, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss; he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold.

All Things Work Together
Just as the telescope and microscope show us that there is order and design in all the works of God’s hand, from the greatest planet down to the least insect, so does the Bible teach us that there is wisdom, order and design in all the events of our daily life. There is no such thing as “chance”, “luck”, or “accident” in the Christian journey through this world. All is arranged and appointed by God: and all things are “working together” for the believer’s good.
