CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
|
|
|
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, |
