WHEREAS, God keeps His promises, and the Lord your God is God | ||
and is faithful to keep His promises for all time to come; and | ||
WHEREAS, The promises of God are stated thusly in the Gospel | ||
of John: "And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; | ||
neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand"; and | ||
WHEREAS, God has given to us His great and precious promises | ||
of love, hope, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, | ||
wisdom, and strength to sustain us through the life He has given us; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, God gives power to the weak, and to those who have no | ||
might, He increases strength; and | ||
WHEREAS, Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid because | ||
of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you | ||
nor forsake you; and | ||
WHEREAS, The promise of God is His word, which is revelation | ||
from Him, showing the way of Salvation, through His Son, Jesus | ||
Christ, the Truth and Life, and encouraging the lives of many; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Declaration of Independence clearly reveals the | ||
fact that America was founded upon Biblical principles and | ||
Christian values; the Bible had great influence on the founding of | ||
our great nation; and | ||
WHEREAS, God promises to heal our land according to | ||
2 Chronicles 7:14: "If My people who are called by My name will | ||
humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their | ||
wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and forgive their sin and | ||
heal their land"; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the 88th Legislature of the State of Texas, | ||
3rd Called Session, hereby designate April as Promise Month; and, | ||
be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That, in accordance with the provisions of Section | ||
