“I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you;
I will remove from you a heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.”
Ezekial 36:26
Whenever I think of God saying to me… “I will” it feels like a promise to my heart.
He does not say it lightly nor does He say it without knowing what HE is saying.
I will.
Just as he said in the new testament “I will be with you always” it is a promise for us to hold very close and to remember.
We are not alone.
In the process of writing this I looked into the bible gateway site and typed in the two words, “I will” and the site showed 2,318 matches.
All the words that show ‘I will’ together were there along with other sentences using them in different contexts.
Meaning for me that it is a theme God continues to use throughout the years.
God was telling the people something then and He desires to tell us now.
I will …
God said it in many circumstances to many different people.
I remain amazed.
It is comforting to know He stands by his word. Always.
Two simple words.
Relating a promise and commitment to us.
His desire is to have a beautiful relationship with us if we choose to believe in his love.
Are we ready to receive him and say “I will” in return?
You just wrote the post I have wanted to write for over a year. Last year God had me underline all the "I will" in the Bible…it ministered to my spirit so much…it allowed me to take my hands off of things and truly release. I still let those words jump from the page when I read His word…I needed to read them again today…thanks for posting.
What a great idea to look up all the "I wills" of God. I WILL have to do that! 🙂
Great post Sharon! So encouraging and promising to hear God say "I will" to us personally through His word… and yes I desire to say in return… "I will, Lord" 🙂 blessings to you
