The Daily Promise

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. - Psalm 119:14 Like so many things in the Christian walk, receiving joy from obeying God doesn't seem to make sense. The thought of obedience often brings images of restrictions, rules, and regulations. How could obeying God be a joy?   The Psalmist says we can rejoice over obeying God the way a person might rejoice if they foun...

I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. – John 5:24 The greatest promise of all is the promise of eternal life.

He gives strength to the weary and strengthens the powerless. - Isaiah 40:29 In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get worn out and weary. We work longer hours and at a faster pace than ever before.

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. - Romans 10:17 If you want to grow in your faith, you must spend time in God's word.

God doesn't hide from you. He isn't avoiding you. He desires to be found by you. Here is the heart of this promise; seeking God always results in finding Him.

The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable to the LORD, but the prayer of the upright is His delight. - Proverbs 15:8 When you pray, God listens. He not only listens, but he is delighted to hear your prayers.   A grandfather takes great delight when his grandchild climbs up in his lap. He is ready to listen to anything his grandchild says. God is like that grandfather. He invites you to climb up in...

Do you see God as your Father or your boss? Today's promise gives you the answer. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. - Galatians 3:26 So many Christians think salvation comes with a job description.

Here's today's promise. And their sins and their lawless deeds, I will remember no more. - Hebrews 10:17   We all deal with guilt. Guilt can be a positive thing. The Holy Spirit can use guilt to bring about conviction and repentance from your sins. More often, Satan uses guilt against you. When God forgives your sin, He forgets your sin.

Satan may come against you, but according to today's promise, he will flee when you resist him. Here's the promise. James 4:7 - Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. - 2 Timothy 1:7 We all have fears; they are a natural part of life.
