Through our sermon series on the life of Abraham, we have discovered many themes throughout the narrative. One theme, however, stands out among the others: the theme of God's faithfulness. We've followed Abraham through times of trial and triumph, and along the way, we've seen Abraham make both good and bad decisions. But the one thing that remains constant in the story of Abraham is this: that God's promises are true. God can be trusted. God should be trusted. And we can stand on the promises of God with confidence. That is why we sing "Standing on the Promises" (words by Fanny J. Crosby, music by Phoebe Palmer Knapp). This song proclaims exactly what we are learning in the scriptures. Meditate on these words and cling to God's promises this week.
You can listen to an instrumental version of the hymn below.

Lyrics
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
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Savior
Standing, standing,
I'm standing on the promises of God
Standing on the promises that cannot fail
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail
By the living Word of God I shall prevail
Standing on the promises of God
Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord
Bound to him eternally by love's strong cord
Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword
Standing on the promises of God
Standing on the promises I cannot fall
Listening every moment to the Spirit's call
Resting in my Savior as my all in all
Standing on the promises of God
