Dare you confess God's promises to you?

The Bible is full of promises - God's promises to His children. If you're saved, or born again as we also say, you're God's child, and you're entitled to all of your Father's promises to you.
Wow!
Do you believe it?
"I know it's true, I know it's in the Bible, but I don't know if I really believe it. After all, how do you really know if God means what He says?"
If this is your answer, I have good news for you today. Let's see how a man after God's heart approached God and His promises.
In Psalm 55:16-17 David says; "As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me. Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice."
David did not waver, but was convinced that the Lord would save him. He knew that when he called upon God, God would save him.
How could David be so certain? Did he have other ways than we have to know God? Did he have a special "pair of binoculars" that he used to "see" into the spiritual world?
No, David was a human being just like you and me. However, he had learnt to excercise his trust in and reliance on God to the degree that he knew God. He didn't just know about God, but he knew Him. So when David called upon God, he knew that God would save him.
Do you have this same confidence in God's ability to fulfill His promises as David had? Dare you confess God's promises to you? Dare you say them out aloud?
Proverbs 18:21 says that "Death and life are in the power of the tongue ...". If you have a need in your life or there's something you want God to do for you, and you see a promise in God's Word about your situation, don't hesitate to proclaim the promise, say it out loud, let your voice be heard. Let life float from your tongue, and see God's promises come alive for you in your life.
