The Daily Promise

You are a brand new person in Christ. Today's promise is found in 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. - 2 Corinthians 5:17 Amazing things happened when you came to Christ. Yes, your sins were forgiven, and yes your place in Heaven was secured, but that is just the beginning. Paul says that those who are "in...

We begin the week talking about God's peace. Here's the promise. I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. -   John 16:33 Jesus promises you peace. Peace is not the absence of conflict, problems, or difficulties. Peace comes from living under the reign of Christ in your life. Peace comes from u...

It's been a great week on the Daily Promise. Saturday is review day. Every Saturday we review the promises we learned during the week so we can allow God's word to go deep in our hearts.

When God repeats Himself in scripture, it's never without purpose. You should always pay attention to spiritual truth that shows up in both the Old and New Testament. The book of Hebrews quotes this promise in chapter 12, verse 5-6, so we might want to listen up. Many people see the discipline of the Lord as God punishing His children. When something bad happens, their first thought is that God is...

There are 5 promises packed into this one simple little verse.   Let's jump right into them. First, God is your Sun. Few things are more relaxing and peaceful than a warm sunny day. Sitting in the sun seems to warm you all over. When God is your sun, you never walk in darkness. The scary shadows of the night disappear in the light of the morning sun. Things are always clearer in the sunlight. Sinc...

One of the most frequent battlegrounds for spiritual warfare is your mind. Just as Satan deceived Eve through his words, Satan is always whispering deception and lies into your ears. Your thoughts are the beginnings of actions. Every sin begins with a thought. Every temptation begins in the mind. Because you have the mind of Christ, you have the power to control your thoughts. God commands you to...

When it comes to temptation, You are not out on your own. God promises victory over every temptation that comes your way. When Christ died on the cross, He ended sin's power over you and provided a way to overcome every temptation Satan throws your way. This verse contains three promises when it comes to temptation. First, everyone is tempted. It is easy to feel like you are the only ones who face...

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. - Galatians 3:29 In Jesus Christ, you have every promise of God. You are an heir to all God has for you. The heir of royalty did nothing to be an heir. When they are born, they were born into the royal family. Their birth made them an heir. Because they were born into the family, all the blessings, wealth, and p...

Saturday is review day on the Daily Promise. Every Saturday we review the promises we learned during the week so we can allow God's word to go deep in our hearts. So let's get started.

The great hope we have as Christians is the return of Christ. Through the years, Christians have looked forward to His return. They have placed their confidence in the promises of the Bible that one day, Jesus will return and when He does, we will meet Him in the air.   When Jesus ascended into heaven, He told the disciples that He would one day come again. The Bible is filled with prophecies (pro...

I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread.  - Psalm 37:25 Looking back over your life, it's easy to see the hand of God working. As the Psalmist looks back over his life, he becomes convinced of one thing. He has never seen God fail or abandon His people. God never promised you a problem-free life. He never said that you would g...

Here's today's promise. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. - 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 Right this moment, a battle is raging. You may not see it, or even feel it, but don't be fooled; you are living on a battlefield. It's an invisible battle, waged and won in...

Hi, this is Billy Taylor and welcome to the Daily Promise. The Daily Promise is your daily reminder of God's goodness and promise to you. Today's promise is found in John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. - John 10:10 Jesus came to give you life. Not just life, but abundant life, overflowing life, unending life. Life t...

This promise is part of one of the most well know passages of scripture. Although it's often read at funerals, its really a psalm for living. Psalms 23 describes God as our shepherd and His tender care for you and me. The Bible often describes us as sheep. Sheep aren't the smartest of animals. Sheep are very fearful animals. They are easily spooked and completely defenseless. They need a caring sh...

Here are the verse week covered this week on the Daily Promise. Ephesians 1:3 | Malachi 3:6 | Genesis 1:27 | John 3:34 | Psalm 103:8

Here's today's promise. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness. – Psalm 103:8 How do you see God? Do you see Him as an angry judge or a loving father? Your view of God affects your faith and how you live the Christian life. Many times your view of God has more to do with how you were raised then what the Bible says about God. This promise gives us fou...

As John the Baptist describes the coming Messiah, Jesus, he said He will speak the words of God and will give the Holy Spirit without measure. Jesus walked in the complete presence and power of the Holy Spirit. Before Jesus, the Holy Spirit worked in the lives of prophets, kings, and leader on a limited basis. They were led or filled with the Spirit for a specific time or for a particular purpose....

This is one of the most important and powerful promises in God's Word. This one verse explains why human beings are so special in God's eyes.   You are created. The great creator of the universe created you. You are not an accident; you were created with a purpose and plan in mind. An artist creates a beautiful painting for a purpose. It might be a portrait or a still life. It could be a social co...

This promise is a declaration, from the very mouth of God about who He is. He never changes.   The world you live in is continually changing. New technology and information show up daily. Sometimes you wake up in the morning to find your phone was updated during the night and new features have been added and changes have been made. In general, change is good; it's part of life. Change means progre...

You are blessed. It's a fact. God has blessed you! He has poured out every spiritual blessing on you because of His love. He has blessed you and will continue to bless you. You don't have to wait until you get to heaven to experience the blessing of God in your life. Right now, in Jesus Christ, you are living a blessed life! Blessed is a popular word these days. It's pretty common for people to sa...

Saturday is review day on the Daily Promise. Every Saturday we review the promises we learned during the week so we can allow God's word to go deep in our hearts.

To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy. – Jude 24 The book of Jude ends with this powerful benediction on the grand plan and purpose Jesus has for you. Every day Jesus is watching over you to bring about His purpose. This promise gives you three things Jesus is doing in your life today.  

You have a choice as to where you can invest your wealth. You can invest it here on earth, or in eternity. Jesus was not against wealth. He never taught that wealth was a sin, or that the wealthy people were evil. He does remind us that earthly wealth is fleeting. No matter how hard you try or how much money you make, you can never take it with you.   There is nothing wrong with a retirement plan,...

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. – Titus 3:5 I've got some good news and bad news for you. First, the bad news.   The bad news is that there is nothing you can do that can make you good enough for God to love you. So many people go through life hoping they can be good enoug...

As you read the Bible, it's always amazing how God sneaks a very powerful promise right in the middle of a very regular passage. Joshua 21 is an explanation of how the cities and property were to be divided up and given to the priests. Verse after verse lists which cities went to which tribe of priests. The chapter is pretty difficult to read until you get to the very last verse. If you gave up re...
