Just as He said.... These words felt like they literally jumped off the page as I read a familiar Easter Bible Verse a few weeks ago. I had always focused on the part right before which said: “He has Risen,” but never on the rest of the verse.
Matthew 28:6 - "He is not here; for He has Risen, just as He said."
How many times in life do you experience heartbreak and frustration because people do not follow through on their word. Your spouse, your kids, your friends, your employer, your parent, your pastor, and the list could go on and on. You even let yourself down. You know how it goes, you promised yourself you would follow through this time, and then life happens and you don't follow through yet again.
As you practice being mindful and present this year, you learn the value of not focusing on who hasn't kept their word to you, who hasn't shown up as much as you needed, and instead, really try to be mindful that God's word will not return void. His word will accomplish what He set it out to do, and if you abide in His word you will begin to see a harvest, unlike anything you can imagine.
So here you go, straight from His word to you. My favorite top ten promises I hold dear.
If He says it, He will do it just as He said.
Ten Simple "Just as He said" Reminders for Your Today.
1. He will not leave you comfortless.
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you." John 14:18
"But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:26-28
2. Faithful people are His delight.
"Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD, but those who act faithfully are his delight." Proverbs 12:22
3. Seek Him and you will find Him.
"You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Jeremiah 29:13
4. He is near.
"The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth." Psalm 145:18
5. By His stripes we are healed.
"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:5
6. What others intend for harm, God will use for good.
"You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives." Genesis 50:20
7. He provides an escape.
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind." 1 Corinthians 10:13
8. When I am weak, He is strong.
"But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9. He will always be with you.
"No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." Joshua 1:5
10. You will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.
"I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13
I am thankful you will forever be true to just as you said.
And your words are mine to hold dear because you knit my every thread.
All my days I will walk confidently knowing you are forever faithful,
as you take delight in all the ways I show you that I am forever grateful.
Just as you were with Moses, I know you will be by my side,
as I navigate life's path relying on your strength to be my guide.
My confidence remains that I will see your goodness in my coming days
because you are enough and your words are just as you say.
