The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 12:10 As is often the case, the principles of the Kingdom of God run contrary to our thinking. Who would ever say, “I am content with weakness.” We brag about our strengths. God loves using weak and flawed people. We expect great, important people to do big things. No one is surprised when a good-looking, articulate, well-educated person succeeds. When God uses weak people to do great things, there is no question about who gets the glory. Your weakness will not keep God from using you.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 2:6-7 We can all use a little wisdom, right? If you are like me, you look back at some of your past decisions and wonder what you were thinking. If there were a way to make better choices, we could live better lives. God promises wisdom to those who seek Him. Wisdom is the ability to make good choices that bring about success. When you seek wisdom from the Lord, He blesses you in two ways. 1. He gives wisdom to those who seek Him. 2. God's wisdom is a shield around you.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review this week's promises so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 145:8 – The Lord is Gracious, and Merciful. Psalm 86:7 – Call Upon the Lord. John 7:37-38 - Jesus Promised Living Water. Zechariah 4:6 – Not by Might, but by the Spirit. Psalm 23:4 – I Will Not Fear, for God is With Me.

Today's Promise: Zechariah 4:6 When God gives you an assignment, He always provides everything you need to accomplish it. Is there something God has told you to do, but it seems like a mountain before you? What is the mountain that you are facing today? Your power or strength won't move it. You won't conquer it with your best thinking or the world's wisdom. It is not by your might nor by your power but by the Holy Spirit's power, strength, and leadership; you can fulfill all God has called you to be and do.

Today's Promise: John 7:37-38 Jesus promised living water to those who would come to Him. His living water satisfies your soul and refreshes your spirit. When you drink His living water, you never thirst again. Jesus said this living water would bubble up from within and overflow to the world around you. It is a constant supply of satisfaction and renewal. As a believer, the promise of Jesus is the living water of the Holy Spirit flowing from within you. He is a never-ending source of comfort, joy, refreshment, and power.

Today's Promise: Psalm 86:7 What do you do when you face a significant problem that rocks your world? No matter who you are, there are days of trouble. Sometimes you have caused them, and sometimes trouble just seems to appear at your doorstep. You can respond in fear and worry. You can complain about your condition, or you can call on the Lord. God promises that when you call on Him, He will answer and will never leave you to face your day of trouble alone.

Today's Promise: Psalm 145:8 Here are four character qualities of God listed in this promise. 1. God is gracious. God's grace is His love in action. Grace is getting what you don't deserve. 2. God is merciful. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. 3. God is slow to anger. God always gives room for repentance. At times, His anger is poured out in righteous judgment, but only as a last resort. 4. God is great in lovingkindness. Lovingkindness is commitment love. It is God's lovingkindness that releases His grace and mercy into your life.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review this week's promises so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. 1 Kings 8:56 – God Will Always Keep His Promises. Romans 8:31 – If God is for You, Who is Against You. John 16:7 – Jesus Promised the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 12:15 – My Bitterness is Removed. James 1:5 – Ask God for Wisdom.

Today's Promise: James 1:5 There is a difference between knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is all about the facts; wisdom is about what you do with the facts. Wisdom is about how you live and the choices you make. Our world is drowning in knowledge. You can find the answer to almost any question or problem in the palm of your hand. We know more, but are we living any better? Are we making better choices? Are we living wisely? God's wisdom helps you understand the world around you so you can live successfully.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 12:15 You can't go through life without experiencing hurt or disappointment. If you aren't careful, those hurts and disappointments can take hold in your heart. Unforgiveness always leads to bitterness. You remove the root of bitterness through forgiveness. As you show others the same grace and forgiveness Christ gives you, you will find those roots of bitterness wither and die. It takes time, but as you release forgiveness through the grace of God, you will find new freedom, joy, and happiness.

Today's Promise: John 16:7 Imagine what it must have been like to have walked with Jesus. Imagine seeing Jesus heal the sick, raise the dead, feed the five thousand, and even walk on water. Now, imagine how the disciples felt when Jesus said He was going away, and His going away was to their advantage. Even for us, it's hard to believe that anything could be better than seeing Jesus with our own eyes. Jesus promised that when He left, He would send the Holy Spirit, who would comfort, teach, and empower them.

Today's Promise: Romans 8:31 Do you ever feel like the world is working against you? I've got good news. God is on your side. Imagine the God of the universe standing beside you as you face any and every problem. How can you possibly be afraid while the Lord Jesus stands beside you? The God who freely gave His only Son for your salvation is the God who stands beside you in every situation. You can face your greatest challenges and fears because God is on your side.

Today's Promise: 1 Kings 8:56 The God you serve is a promise-keeping God. In this scripture, Solomon gives a blessing to the people of God. He reviews their history and reminds them that God's promises never fail. What God said He would do; He did. The God you serve is the God who makes good on His word. You and I can stand alongside King Solomon and agree that not one of God's promises has failed. Faith believes that what God has said, He will do.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 34:7 – Angels Will Protect Me. Luke 10:20 – God Wrote My Name in Heaven. Ephesians 3:16 - God Will Strengthen You with Power. Isaiah 40:11 - Jesus Will Carry You. Mark 1:40-41 - Jesus is Always Ready.

Today's Promise: Mark 1:40-41 Leprosy was the most devastating disease of the New Testament days. The leper who came to Jesus believed He could heal him, but he wasn't sure Jesus would take the time or have the desire to heal him. When Jesus saw this leper, He responded with compassion. Jesus's compassion was followed by action, and He healed him. We often come to God in prayer, feeling as though we need to convince God to hear our prayer or meet our needs. We forget that Jesus is generous with His healing and help.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 40:11 One of the most consistent pictures of our relationship with God is that of the shepherd and his sheep. Jesus called himself the "good" shepherd. As your Good Shepherd, He also carries you in His arms On your weakest days, when you are struggling or hurting, Jesus comes along, picks you up, and carries you close to His heart. Finally, your Good Shepherd gently leads you. Like all sheep, it's easy to get distracted and wander away from the right path.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 3:16 God promises strength and power through His Holy Spirit no matter what you face today. Real strength begins in your heart and works its way out into your life. God is giving you supernatural strength to face any challenge before you today. The very power of Christ is flowing through you. His Holy Spirit will give you the strength and determination you never thought you had. When your heart is empowered and strengthened, you can do anything. You can go longer than you imagine, further than you thought possible, and stay with it until you finish.

Today's Promise: Luke 10:20 Jesus said the most important thing in this life is knowing where you will spend the next life. Just like the fog coming from your breath on a cold morning, life on this earth only lasts a moment. Compared to eternity, this life is just a vapor. You don't have to fear death. Christ has a place for you in heaven. We don't know all the details, but we know it will be in the presence of God, with no pain or death. God will wipe every tear away. The greatest blessing is knowing your name is written in heaven.

Today's promise: Psalm 34:7 Few people have ever seen an angel. Even in the Bible, there are only a few instances of an Angel manifesting itself. However, God promises that these unseen guardians surround you with supernatural protection. When you know God's angels are surrounding and protecting you, you never have to fear. There are more with you than against you. Pray God opens your eyes to the spiritual battle around you.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 103:12 – Jesus Removed Your Sin.  Hebrews 13:5 - God Will Never Leave or Forsake You. Isaiah 12:2 – I Will Trust God and Not be Afraid. 2 Corinthians 9:8 - God Pours His Grace on Me. Psalm 25:12 - God Shows Me the Right Choice.

Today's Promise: Psalm 25:12 Sometimes, life's choices are not always easy. Choices are not always black and white. Sometimes, you have to choose between good and good. To fear the Lord is recognizing Him for who He is and showing Him the reverence and respect, He is due. Fearing the Lord is not cowering before him but understanding that He is the Lord God who holds eternity in His hands. Next time you face a decision, submit your life to the Lord (fear the Lord) and ask Him for wisdom and guidance.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 9:8 God's grace is His unmerited favor and blessing. There is nothing you can do to earn His grace. Every blessing you experience demonstrates God's grace in your life. God pours out His grace on you because He loves you. He also gives His grace for a purpose. So many people need grace. They don't need condemnation or criticism. They just need grace. Today, allow His grace to flow through you to everyone you meet.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 12:2 Since God is your salvation, you never have to live in fear. He gives you strength in the midst of a fearful world. Fear is the opposite of faith. You can't walk in fear and walk in faith - the greater your fear, the less your faith. However, the opposite is also true  — the greater your faith, the less your fear. The more you trust in God as your salvation, the less you struggle with fear. Jesus is your salvation. He is with you right now. He is your strength, and He is all you need. When you know Jesus is your salvation, you can sing for joy as the world around you shivers in fear.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 13:5 When you feel like the world has turned its back on you, there is one who has promised never to leave or forsake you. Even if you have slipped away from the Lord, He has never forsaken you. If you are lonely today, run to the One who has never and will never forget you. If you have been hurt by others, run to the God who has promised to always be with you. If God is calling you to a new ministry, remember that He will be with you.

Today's Promise: Psalm 103:12 For many Christians, Guilt is a way of life. When they pray, they feel overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame. Every time an opportunity for service arrives, they feel unworthy for God to use them. Once we confess and repent of a sin, God never brings it up again. God moved our sin as far as the East is from the West. (Ps. 103:12) God desires for you to live a guilt-free life by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 37:39-40 - God Delivers You from Every Spiritual Attack.  1 Peter 5:4 – Crowned With a Heavenly Crown. James 4:8 - Draw Near to God, And He Will Draw Close to You. John 4:24- God Seeks Worshippers. Mark 9:23 – Belief Makes All Things Possible.

Today's promise: Mark 9:23 Sometimes the limiting factor in our walk with God is our faith. As we learn to grow our faith by putting God's Word into our lives and standing on it, we will see God do incredible things in our lives. Is your lack of faith holding back the work God wants to do in your life? Ask the Holy Spirit to increase your level of faith.

Worship has more to do with the attitude of the heart than the location. So many Christians get caught up in the formality and tradition of worship. They think worship has to happen at a particular time or place. They believe you must worship in a certain way or only with a specific style of music. True worshipers come to God in spirit and truth. You can worship God in the grandest cathedral or a grass hut - you can be part of a large crowd or in your pajamas. What matters is the attitude of the heart.

Today's Promise: James 4:8 When we draw close to God, He draws close to us. First, you must cleanse your hands. You must leave behind the sin that moved you away from Him in the first place. Second, you must purify your heart. The birthplace of our actions is our heart. Our heart must be wholly His. When you change your heart and change your actions, you have the promise that as you return to Christ, He will welcome you into His presence. Your father will draw near to you as you draw near to Him.

Today's Promise: 1 Peter 5:4 One day, Jesus will return. When He comes, He will set up His eternal kingdom here on Earth. There will be a new heaven and Earth, and God will dwell among His people. God rewards in heaven those who served Him here on Earth. Your crown of glory will never fade or lose its luster. Its shining glory will last for all eternity. You may not see all the rewards you desire in this life, but you can be confident that your reward is waiting for you when Jesus returns.  

Today's Promise: Psalm 37:39-40 In the heat of the battle, God provides a refuge and stronghold. Run to Him to find safety and protection. Do you ever feel like the enemy has you in his sights? Ever feel like you walk around with a spiritual target on your back? When the enemy comes, you have one you can run to and find shelter, protection, and safety. He promises to deliver you from the wicked and the wicked one. Today, don't live in fear. Walk in faith, knowing God is your protection.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Psalm 32:7 – God is My Hiding Place. Psalm 62:1 - God is My Salvation. Ephesians 2:5-6 - You are Seated in Heavenly Places. Judges 6:12 - God Sees Who You Really Are. Psalm 32:8 - God Will Show You the Way to Go.

Today's Promise: Psalm 32:8 Have you ever really needed direction and wisdom from the Lord? Have you ever felt you could really use some clarity in the decision you are about to make? If so, today's promise is for you. You don't have to live hoping to make the right choices and do the right things. God promises to teach, guide, and counsel you in how you should live. Start today by seeking God's leadership. Stay close to Him, listen for His voice, and seek His face. You will be amazed at all God has to say to you.

Today's Promise: Judges 6:12 When God looks at you, He sees more in you than you see in yourself. You may be full of fear and worry, but God sees you as a mighty, valiant warrior. You see yourself through your physical eyes. You see all the flaws and imperfections. You also see your history, failures, and what others have told you. God sees you for who you really are and who you can be through Him. The question is, will you believe what you say and think of yourself, or what God sees in you?

Today's Promise: Ephesians 2:5-6 You may not feel like it, but right now, you are seated in heavenly places with Christ. Your physical location may be here on earth, but your spiritual position is with Christ. When you placed your faith in Christ, you were united with Him. When He died, you died. When God raised Him from the grave, you received new life in Him. Now you are seated with Him at the right hand of God. Because you are seated with Him, your primary world is not here but in heaven. You live in the accomplished work of Christ.

Today's Promise: Psalm 62:1 When you wait on God, you find He is your salvation and provider of all you need. King David wrote this psalm during a particularly difficult time in his life. He was facing constant attacks from his son, who was trying to overthrow his rule as king. Instead of gathering his army and advisors, the first thing he did was go to the Lord. David understood that trusting in men was foolish. It was not about his strength or wisdom but about God's deliverance. David had a quiet confidence that God would see him through any difficulty.  

Today's Promise: Psalm 32:7 You have a hiding place, a place of refuge when problems and troubles come your way. That place of refuge is personal to you. God is not a hiding place, but your hiding place. When stress overwhelms you and the enemy is attacking from all sides, you can run to your hiding place. Your hiding place is not a location but a person. God is your hiding place. He covers you on all sides and protects you from the enemy's attack.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Matthew 21:22 – Pray in Faith, and the Lord Will Answer.  Psalm 145:9 - God is Good and Merciful. Hebrews 13:20-21 - God Equips and Empowers You. Jeremiah 1:5 - I Already Knew You Before You Were Born. Colossians 1:21-22 – Jesus Made You Holy Before God.

Today's Promise: Jeremiah 1:5 God knows you. He knows all about you. In fact, there is nothing hidden from Him. He knows the good, the bad, and everything in between. Before you ever took your first breath, God knew you. He knew how tall or short you would be, the color of your eyes, hair, and skin, plus a thousand other details. You are not a genetic accident; you were created by God the Father. He not only knew you, but He formed you for His purpose. He made you for His purpose and called you to fulfill that purpose in Him.

Today's promise: Colossians 1:21-22 As a new creation, Jesus presents you to God without sin or accusation. God didn't wait for you to clean up your act before He began His work of salvation. This promise describes three ways Christ presents you to God. 1. He presents you holy. 2. He presents you as faultless. 3. He presents you blameless. You are not the person you used to be. God has removed your past and forgiven your sin. Jesus presents you holy, faultless, and blameless before God.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 13:20-21 God has already qualified, empowered, and equipped you to walk in obedience to Him and serve Him with faithfulness and power. Whatever God calls you to today, He has already equipped you to handle it. God never commands you to do something that He doesn't empower you to accomplish. When I was a boy, our pastor used to say, "God doesn't call the qualified; He qualifies the called." No matter what you may face today, you can accomplish all God has for you because He has already equipped you. You have all you need for victory and obedience.

Today's Promise: Psalm 145:9 God is good. Goodness is part of His character. Goodness is at the heart of all He is. He is not just mighty, not just powerful, not just eternal; He is good. Because God is good, He does good. God's goodness sent His only Son into this world. It was His goodness that brought about your salvation. God pours out his goodness on all of His creation. His goodness blessed those who love Him and those who hate Him. He offers His mercy to all who will come to Him.

Today's Promise: Matthew 21:22 God loves answering His children's prayers. However, there is a condition to this promise on prayer. Your prayer must accompany your prayer with faith. Praying in faith can move mountains; praying without faith is a waste of time. Many people pray, but they don't really believe God will answer their prayers. Because they are just going through the motions, they never see the results of their prayer. Prayer without faith is simply talking to yourself. Praying in faith makes your prayer life more dynamic as you see more and more of your prayers answered.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Colossians 1:13 – You are Part of the Kingdom of Light.   2 Peter 3:9 – God is Patient. 2 John 1:3 – Mercy, Grace, and Peace Are With You. John 4:23 – God Seeks True Worshippers. Philippians 2:13 - God is at Work in You.

Today's Promise: Philippians 2:13 The Christian life begins in the heart. God works in your heart to bring about His will and desire. So many Christians try to obey God on the outside without allowing God to change them on the inside. The Christian life is all about allowing the Holy Spirit to transform and empower your thinking so that your actions follow. You will find new strength and power to live the Christian life in victory and service to Christ as you allow God to transform and empower your heart.

Today's Promise: John 4:23 As a Christian, you have a unique ability to worship God. Only you can worship Him in Spirit and Truth. No other creature can lift up praise and worship like you. Jesus said that to please God with real worship, we must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Real worship begins in the spirit. It isn't about the style, the posture, or even the volume. Real worship is based on truth. Honesty is the beginning point of God-pleasing worship. God loves it when His children come to Him in thankful praise and worship.

Today's Promise: 2 John 1:3 As followers of Christ, God fills our lives with grace, mercy, and peace. Grace is the unmerited favor of God. No matter how good you are or how hard you try, it won't affect your standing with God. God's mercy sent Jesus into the world to save you from your sin. It is God's mercy that created your salvation. Peace is the result of God's grace and mercy working in your life. Because of His grace and mercy, you have peace. God's mercy and grace come together to bring about God's peace in your life.

Today's Promise: 2 Peter 3:9 With all the challenges and pressures you face, I want to remember that God is patient with you. Almost every spiritual giant in the Bible had a significant setback or failure. For example, the night Jesus was arrested, Peter had a chance to make a stand for Christ. The good news is that God understands your weakness. He knows your weakness and frailty. God is patiently working in your life. He knows your weaknesses and your failures, but is committed to bringing you into a closer relationship with Him.

Today's Promise: Colossians 1:13 Because of your faith in Christ, you are part of God's kingdom, the Kingdom of Light. There are two invisible kingdoms in the world: the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of Light. The kingdom of darkness is ruled by Satan and is set on your destruction. The kingdom of light is the kingdom of God and gives life, love, and freedom. The power of sin is broken, and Satan has no claim on you. Through your faith in Christ, you are now a citizen of heaven.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 – Christ Will Return.  Galatians 3:29 – An Heirs to the Promise. 2 Corinthians 10:5 – I Take Every Thought Captive. Proverbs 3:11-12 – God Trains You Like a Good Father. John 16:33 – True Peace Comes From God.
