“Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promise to her!” Luke 1:45

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things A loving heart has waited long to see; Those words will be fulfilled to which she clings, Because her God has promised faithfully; And, knowing Him, she ne’er can doubt His Word; He speaks and it is done. The mighty Lord!

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things, O burdened heart, rest ever in His care; In quietness beneath His shadowing wings Await the answer to your longing prayer.

When you have “cast your cares,” the heart then sings, The Lord is sure to accomplish those things.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things, O tired heart, believe and wait and pray; Peacefully, the evening chime still rings, Though cloud and rain and storm have filled the day.

Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars The coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.

The Lord is sure to accomplish those things, O trusting heart, the Lord to you has told; Let Faith and Hope arise, and lift their wings, To soar toward the sunrise clouds of gold; The doorways of the rosy dawn swing wide, Revealing joys the darkness of night did hide.

BESSIE PORTER

Matthew Henry said, “We can depend on God to fulfill His promise, even when all the roads leading to it are closed. ‘For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” [so be it] is spoken by us to the glory of God’ [2 Corinthians 1:20].”

God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) and hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: that in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.—He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?—The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.

We love him, because he first loved us.

Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; and being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform.

And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness.

Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him: but for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead.

The promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

The just shall live by faith.—Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised).—Our God is in the heavens; he hath done whatsoever he hath pleased.—With God nothing shall be impossible.

And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

By his strength he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him.

Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God.

Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

Blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord.

Lord, increase our faith.
