Today’s Promise: Psalm 92:12-14

As followers of Christ, God promises we can thrive and be fruitful now and in our old age. 

In this promise, the psalmist says four things about the righteous man or those who have the righteousness in Christ.

First, you will flourish like a palm tree. God promises that you can thrive even when life is difficult.

Second, as you walk with the Lord, you will be strong when others fail.

Third, you will live in the presence of God.

Fourth, you will continue to be fruitful and thrive in your old age.

Today's Verse: Romans 15:13

Today, I echo the prayer the Apostle Paul made for the church in Rome. I am praying you remember that the God you serve is the hope-filled and hope-giving God. He is the source of all hope. You can't muster up hope; it only comes from God.

Today, I am praying God fills you with Joy and peace that come only from Him.

As you trust in the Lord and walk in joy and peace, hope will abound in you through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Today's Promise: Luke 2:10-11

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 2:1-2 - Seeking Jesus.

Isaiah 9:6 – Wonderful Counselor.

Matthew 1:23 – Born of a Virgin.

Isaiah 7:14 – Call Him Immanuel.

John 3:16 – God’s Greatest Christmas Promise.

Promise Verse: John 3:16

The greatest promise of all is the promise of God's love. His love sent Jesus to be born of a manger, die for our sins, and bridge the gap between God and us. This is the promise of Christmas.

His love for you is more than you could ever comprehend. He loves you and will never stop loving you. Your past doesn't matter because God loves you today.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 7:14

The prophet Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus seven hundred years before Christ was born. Isaiah

When the angel appeared to Joseph in Matthew 1, he quoted this prophecy and then added a definition of the word Immanuel: God with us.

The promise of Christmas was that God moved from the temple to God walking among us. Because of the manger, God dwelt with His people.

God is with you today. You are never alone and need never fear. He is only a prayer away.

Today’s Promise: Matthew 1:23

At the heart of Christianity is the virgin birth. Here are four reasons why the virgin birth is important.

1. It shows the uniqueness of Jesus. Jesus had an early mother, but His father was God.

2. It showed His sinless perfection. He didn’t carry the sinful nature of Adam.

3. It broke the chain of sin. Just as sin came into the world through Adam, Jesus brought righteousness.

4. Jesus is the perfect example of God. If you want to know what God is like, just look at Jesus.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 9:6

As Isaiah describes the coming Messiah, he calls Him the Wonderful Counselor. There are two important aspects of this title.

First, he describes the incredible power of this ruler of all ages. He will be the supernatural king who will reign and rule for all eternity. This mighty and powerful king will also be One who is full of wisdom and compassion.

Second, Jesus would be the great counselor. If you need direction today, call on the Wonderful Counselor. The Wonderful Counselor invites you to come and receive from Him all you need.

Today’s Promise: Matthew 2:1-2

After the birth of Jesus, wise men show up, asking where the King of the Jews was born.

Although Jesus came to the Jews, some of the first people who came to worship Him were not Jews but Gentiles. What a wonderful example of how Jesus was the Savior for all people.

Jesus invites you and me to seek Him with all our hearts. He promises that when we seek Him, we will find Him. (Matthew 6:33,7:7)

The wise men sought out Jesus. The wise men and women of today still seek with all they are.
