The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Romans 4:20-22 Faith believes that what God has said, He will do. When God makes a promise, He is faithful to fulfill that promise. God's word and His character are connected. He must keep His word. Faith holds onto that promise until it is seen. How long are you willing to hold onto a promise? Do you give up too soon? Does your faith waver after a few weeks? Don't give up. God wi...

Today's Promise: Philippians 4:4 Joy is fundamental to the Christian life. Growing Christians are rejoicing Christians. Paul commands us to rejoice.

Joy has nothing to do with your circumstance but is connected to the presence of God. Happiness is connected to situations in life. Joy...

Today's Promise: John 10:27 Jesus often describes Himself as the Good Shepherd. He describes those who follow Him as His sheep. There are three powerful statements in this one, simple verse.   First, those who follow Christ hear His voice. Second, Jesus knows His followers. As the Good Shepherd, He knows each of His sheep by name. Third, His sheep follow Him. With our eyes set on our Good Shepherd...

Today's Promise: Deuteronomy 20:4 As the Children of Israel prepared to enter the promised land, they knew they would face new and powerful enemies. Moses tells the people not to be afraid because God will be with them, and God will fight for them. How could they be afraid knowing that the God who opened the Red Sea would fight their battles for them? Today, you will enter into a battle. Instead o...

Today's Promise: Matthew 6:7-8 In the middle of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus took some time to teach us about prayer. Here's the secret to effective prayer - God already knows what you need before you ask. Here are two keys to effective prayer. 1. Prayers should be simple.   2. Prayers should be sincere.   God knows and is sympathetic toward your need. As a good father, He wants to give good thi...

Today's Promise: 1 Peter 5:6 We live in a promote yourself, put your best foot forward world. God's economy works differently. God says if you want to be promoted, humble yourself before God. God honors those who humble themselves before Him. When you humble yourself, you confess your need of Him. Humbling yourself before God is confessing that He is God, and you aren't. When you humble yourself b...

Second, the person who trusts in the Lord is not afraid...

Today's Promise: Psalm 107:1 Hopefully, you are anticipating a time of thanksgiving with friends or family. In 2020, that may be in person or via Zoom. However, you celebrate, take some time to be truly thankful. Your first thought may be, "Hey, what do I have to be thankful for?" No matter what your situation, you can be thankful. It is so easy to focus on what we don't have and forget all the wo...

Today's Promise: 2 Peter 1:4 The Bible contains over 3,000 promises. Every promise is God's commitment to you. Every command of God has a connecting promise because He always empowers you to accomplish His will. In this verse, Peter lists two purposes. First, God's promises are given for us to participate in His divine nature. Second, God's promises are given to escape the corruption of the world....

Today's Promise: James 1:2-3 The book of James tells us to Rejoice! For most of us, that makes very little sense. How in the world can you rejoice when you face trials and difficulties? No one looks down at a flat tire and says, "Praise God, I have a flat tire!" Instead of looking at your difficulties as a punishment or a curse, James invites you to see them as opportunities for God to work. In ev...

Today's Promise: Isaiah 54:10 There is only one thing you can count on in this world, and it's not death and taxes.

His lovingkindness is his love for you that goes beyond your response. When your world falls apart or you experience a major...

Proverbs 1:23 - I Give M...

Today's Promise: Proverbs 1:23 There are two powerful promises packed into this one verse. Both promises are related because God's Spirit and His Word always go together. Pentecost fulfilled this Old Testament promise. The Holy Spirit would no longer rest on a person for a while. Now the Spirit would indwell those who put their faith in Christ. The second part of this promise focuses on God's Word...

Today's Promise: Psalm 34:18 When life has thrown you a knockout punch, God is there to draw you near. When you feel crushed by the things you have experienced, God will save you from hopelessness. Being brokenhearted is more than having your high school boyfriend break up with you. The brokenhearted are those who have suffered an event of such magnitude that it has left them debilitated. If you a...

Today's Promise: Exodus 23:29-30 Right now, God is working in your life to give you victory. He doesn't give it to you all at once, but little by little. He is transforming you into the likeness of Jesus. When God told the Children of Israel about the land that He would give them, He promised to drive out their enemies. God said He would give them victory over their enemies and allow them to posse...

Today's Promise: 1 John 5:13 The greatest promise of all is knowing you have eternal life. With all the advancements in technology and medicine, the mortality rate is still 100%.

If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation, you can know beyond a...

Today's Promise: Isaiah 30:21 God wants to lead you. Throughout the Bible, God promises to lead, direct, and guide those who put their faith and trust in Him. One of the problems we face is that God rarely shows us the destination. Like our GSP, God usually gives just the next step. The second problem we face is that of hearing God's instruction. You have to listen for His voice. By walking in fel...

Mat...

Today's Promise Matthew 7:1 Jesus described God as our Heavenly Father. Like a good earthly father, your Heavenly Father gives good gifts to His children. So many Christians have a poor understanding of their Heavenly Father. As the Father of three, I have learned a lot about giving to my children. If you and I want to bless our children this much, how much more does your heavenly Father want to b...

Today's Promise: Psalm 86:7 What do you do when your day of trouble comes? No matter who you are, there will be days of trouble. Sometimes you have caused them, and sometimes trouble just seems to show up at your door. The first way you can respond is with fear and worry. You let the "what if?" train run through your mind. You can also respond to the day of trouble by complaining.   However, the t...

Today's Promise: Psalm 23:6 In this last verse Psalm 23, David declares that God's goodness and mercy have always been with him.

Just as David looked back on his life and saw the goodness of God, you will rememb...

Today's Promise: Isaiah 43:2 Wouldn't it be great if when you became a Christian, all your problems, fears, and worries disappeared? Unfortunately, God never promised a   problem-free Christian life. In fact, this promise assumes you will face times of deep water and fire. In this promise, water represents being overwhelmed. Sometimes the problems of life can come over you like a giant wave. The f...

Today's Promise: Joshua 1:8 God's Word is filled with success principles. As you obey His Word, He will bless you and bring about your success. God gives Joshua a three-step process for achieving success and prosperity. Although these steps are simple, they will take a lifetime to accomplish. 1. Keep God's Word Close to Your Heart. 2. Meditate on God's Word. 3. Obey God's Word. As you discover, me...
