Good morning, Lord

50 Commandments of Jesus

48. Receive God’s Power—Luke 24:49

I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”

Good morning, Lord, thank You for Your power and promises, where we would be without both is inconceivable. Please help us have the patience we need to wait on You, Your power, and Your promises. Please forgive us for our impertinent, impatient ways, please help us be still and know You are God, and to wait patiently for You, in Jesus name we pray, amen.

HELPS Word-studies

1860 epaggelía (a feminine noun comprised of 1909/epí, "appropriately on" and aggellō, "announce") – a promise which literally "announces what is fitting" (apt, appropriate).

1860/epaggelia ("an appropriate promise") is nearly always used of God's promises in the NT – and hence guaranteed by His own eternal Law (Being).

[In the NT (and throughout antiquity), 1860 (epaggelía) is a legal term that refers to an officially sanctioned promise. "Almost every NT use of the word promise (epaggelia) points back to the OT" (Walter C. Kaiser, Jr., Back Toward the Future, Hints for Interpreting Bible Prophecy, 102).]
