Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 119:49, "Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope."
 
The promises of God are what we should be standing on every time we come across
one in the Word of God. The Bible is filled with promises that bring encouragement
to our soul. God always keeps His promises. “But God — let us speak with reverence — when he gives a promise, binds himself with cords of his own making. He binds himself down to such and such a course when he says that such and such a thing shall be. Hence, when you grasp the promise, you get a hold on God.” (Spurgeon)
 
Standing on the Promises by Russell Kelso Carter

Standing on the promises of Christ, my King!
Through eternal ages let His praises ring.
"Glory in the highest!" I will shout and sing,
standing on the promises of God.

Refrain:
Standing, standing,
standing on the promises of God, my Saviour;
standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
