I will delight myself in Your statutes; I will not forget Your word. Psalm 119:16 NKJV
“There’s no such thing as bad ice cream!” is our friend George’s favorite saying (and he stays skinny!). On any given day, George will take chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, or peach, whether in a cone or a cup, and is ready to sit down and take a moment to enjoy it. I think it would be safe to say that George delights in ice cream.
When the writer of today’s verse tells us that he delights in God’s word, he reminds me of George. He is saying, that, just like the flavors of ice cream, no matter the situation handed to us this morning, we can choose to continue delighting in the promises of God. Just as with George’s ice cream, there is no such thing as a bad promise of God. Every promise is perfect, pure, eternal, and though sometimes hard to swallow; always sweet! What special promises has God given you? Do you have a favorite? So, as you head out today, try to remember that there’s no such thing as bad ice cream, and no such thing as a bad promise of God!
For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
2 Corinthians 1:20

Amen! I would be hard-pressed to come up with a favorite promise. But I do have some verses that have been near and dear to me. Psalm 86:11 is one that I consider my “life verse.” Teach me your way, O LORD, that I may walk in your truth; unite my heart to fear your name.” And recently, I ran across a verse that I had never noticed before. It happens when Jonathan has split off from the rest of Saul’s army and is scoping out a Philistine camp. He is thinking about going up to it, and his armor bearer says this, in 1 Samuel 14:7, Do all that is in your heart. Do as you wish. Behold, I am with you heart and soul.” I have started praying that to Christ on a daily basis.
Maybe Isaiah 43:1-3 has become a favorite promise: But now thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.” (Isaiah 43:1-3 ESV)
He has redeemed me; He has called me by name; He owns me. I am not my own.
Blessings, brother.
Okay, I love those verses. Some of mine are Psalm 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear.
Psalm 25:4-5 Show me your ways O Lord, teach me your paths. Lead me in your truth and teach me. For you are the God of my salvation. On you do I wait all the day.
I love those, as well.
I have never met an ice cream flavor that I don’t like.
