Beautiful verses and this has always been a favorite old hymn of mine. It's wonderful to hear again. Have a blessed weekend.
yeah, I too love that hymn. So nice to hear it here. Love the rich scripture - reminders of His promises.

I think about this song and tits meaning in my life, the lives of all the brothers and sisters in Christ ... and the potential for the lives of those who do not know the Lord. Promises of God missed is a eternal tragedy as Christ is the only plan of Salvation, and without retoration of the spirit through the atonement of Jesus' substitutionary death for our sins and His resurrection defecting death, thereis no other promise worth standing on. Love how Alan Jackson sings this wonderful hymn.
These are great verses... and a beautiful video too. Thank you for sharing these with us today Dr. Bobbi. I hope you are doing well.
Blessings,

Those were such a lovely hymn. Thank you for posting it for this Sunday.
I haven't heard this song in many years. I'm ashamed to say I haven't even been singing it myself. Listening to it brings back many memories of days gone by. Thank you for this excellent post.
I have probably sung this song hundreds of times in church in the past. Thank you for the reminder of a beautiful song I haven't heard in quite a while. And, I love your signature graphic.
Blessings,

Beautiful ~ Thank God for His precious promises. Blessings ~
Thank you Bobbi for this wonderful message of God's love for us. I often find myself thinking about the words in the verses of this hymnal. We can all rely on all of God's promises that He has given us. He will never let us down. Blessings. Lloyd
So lovely, Bobbi...and you will have me thinking about God's promises all day! Oh, one more thing, I have a brand-new drawing on my other blog if you'd like to enter..It's for a beautiful pink crystal bracelet.

Hello Dearest Bobbi, We have and receive, so may promises from the Lord. Unlike people, He never forgets to keep them.
I love that song, Standing on the promises...we do need to stand on them. That way we defeat the devil and his liars.xx
Great verses and video too! Thanks for dropping by, Have a Blessed Sunday!
I'm standing on His promises with you!
Bobbi, just came by to say Hi and thanks for dropping by my blog and signing up to join me on the journey of life. So glad to know you are a christian psychologist. The world certainly needs people like you.
Interesting blog, and thank the Lord for your work. As you well know, there are those Christians who feel a problem is either physical or it's spiritual. And that the answer to (for example) clinical depression is simply repentance and faith.
The spiritual dimension of our beings is always a factor, but I appreciate those who deal with psychological conditions in a biblical way. My wife has suffered with depression for many years, and her experience has taught us both a great deal.
On another matter entirely, if you enjoy reading about our hymns and their authors, I invite you to check out my daily blog on the subject, Wordwise Hymns.
And if you’ll excuse a brief “commercial:” If you do not have a good book on the subject of our Christmas carols, I encourage you to take a look at my own, Discovering the Songs of Christmas. In it, I discuss the history and meaning of 63 carols and Christmas hymns. The book is available through Amazon, or directly from Jebaire Publishing. (Might make a great gift too!)
