The Promise

The Promise

by Sandy Blaser, HRN

This Promise was given to me by the Lord at a time of desperation, fear and brokenness!  Yes, I actually heard His still small voice speak! At that moment my life was changed …forever!  I began on a journey that has literally transformed me!

Over the years I have learned that when a promise is given, one must guard that promise, stand on it and cling to it with all my might!  For believe me, when a promise is given, the enemy quickly tries to rip it out of your heart!  But as I stood on this promise, I watched my life continue on a rapid downward spiral!  I found myself at a point of helplessness as others became my hands and my feet.  Life as I knew it, faded away!  Yet, I clung to the “Promise” and to the “Promise Keeper”!

Over the years God has proven His Word is powerful and His promises are true! He has faithfully walked with me through many a fire and He’s been there through all the ragging storms!  Even as I speak, my Lord continues to hide me in the Shadow of His Wings… And covers me there within His mighty hand!  Yes, there are still many things in life I do not understand, but in Christ alone I place my trust!  As He continues to lead me on this journey Home, there in His loving presence I find quietness & rest, comfort & peace, faith & hope, healing & restoration!  All Glory to the magnificent name of “JESUS”!!

I Heard a Voice say “Isaiah 43″

This is my promise the Lord spoke to me in 1991 as I lay prostrate before him…He instructed me to cling to these words with all my might!  Even though I did not understand why things were happening the way they were, I learned to never let go of the promise!!   I also learned to never go on what is seen, but what is “unseen” and when all else is said & done…Be still and know that HE is GOD!!!

My Promise…”Isaiah 43″ (NIV)

But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.  When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you.  When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze.  For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior;… (continue on through verse 13) I greatly encourage you to grab your Bible and read this scripture for yourself!!!

This song “The Promise” by the Martins says it all….
