It’s good to know you’ve got a friend who will always come through for youThat’s what our daughter Kalyn told me when she picked the James Taylor song, You’ve Got a Friend for her to dance to with me at her wedding last weekend in Alabama. Kalyn only asked two things of me for her wedding: to dance with her to that old song (I used to sing it to her when she was little), and to make a short speech at the reception.I’m not much of a dancer, but we got through it. The speech, though, was harder. What do you say to bless your youngest child as she starts her married life? I chose to remind her and her husband Noah that the only solid ground for our lives is found on the reliability of God’s promises.Our friend Lisa Bevere wrote, “Your children will either inherit God’s promises or your fears.” Today’s podcast is a look at the scripture I shared with Kalyn and Noah, and the good news is, it’s for you (and me) today, too!You don’t have to be afraid of life, as long as you have promises to hold onto.For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.Jeremiah 29:11-13, NIVWe finish with my friend Tommy Walker’s version of one of my favorite hymns, Standing on the Promises.(Music shared on The Dr. Lee Warren Podcast is authorized under BMI license #61063253 and ASCAP license #400010513 ) This is a public episode.
