We read and a get a good feeling from the following scriptures:

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Psalms 121:7 The Lord will keep you from all harm— he will watch over your life;

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

However, after reading any encouraging scripture, some of us forget to apply these scriptures in our daily lives. We tend to forget the most when life seems difficult.

Some of us tend to think or say “I hope I don’t get robbed” when walking in the dark by ourselves. We need to be saying, “praise God for keeping me from all harm.” Some of us begin to panic when we have an unmet need instead of being at peace because we know God supplies all our needs (Phil. 4:19).

In order to maximize on the promises God has given to us, we must apply these truths to our lives. We apply these truths by reading and believing what God’s Word says. These scriptures should be more than a good feeling. These are promises from God and our faith allows these promises to manifest themselves in the earth.

James 1:22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
