Today's Promise: Proverbs 16:3

We all want to be successful. Who doesn't want to see their business, career, and family plans succeed?

Too often, we start making plans and starting projects without ever getting the Lord's approval. When we find ourselves stuck or failing, we wonder why things aren't working out as we planned.

If you want your work to be successful, give it to the Lord for His approval before you ever begin. In doing so, we will find new wisdom and guidance as you work. God will bless our work and bring about success.

Today's promise: Romans 8:28

Every day, God is working in your life. You may not see it or know it, but God is quietly working behind the scenes. He is bringing everything you experience together for your good.

This promise doesn't guarantee that God will eliminate every issue or problem that you face. We live in a fallen world, and sometimes bad things happen to good people.

This verse does promise that God will take the bad things that happen and use them for your good and His glory. God has a plan for you and your life.

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 3:16 – The Word of Christ Dwells in You.

Romans 8:1 – There is no Condemnation in Christ.

Galatians 5:22-23 – You Have the Fruit of the Holy Spirit

Hebrews 4:16 – You Can Come to Me with Confidence.

Psalm 1:3 – You Will Prosper in All You Do.

Today's Promise: Psalm 1:3

When you delight in the Word of God and focus on living in His presence, you prosper.

The Psalmist uses the "he" in this promise, but the principle applies to everyone.

"Prosper" means to succeed at what you do. It's not a guarantee of financial blessing. This promise is not saying, if you read your Bible, you will live like the rich and famous.

Your prosperity reflects living life according to God's Word with wisdom. It becomes a witness to the world around you of God's guidance and grace in your life.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 4:16

Today, you received an invitation. Jesus delivered it, and it requests your presence before the King of glory.

This promise invites you to come before God with confidence. Where many come to God with fear and trembling, you can go boldly into His presence. 

The word "confidence" here means the ability to speak freely. You can come before God and speak freely about the problems, hurts, and challenges you face. 

You come to God at the throne of grace, not the throne of judgment. There is no fear of condemnation, only the confidence that you will find mercy and help.

Today's Promise: Galatians 5:22-23

There is no doubt we could all use a little more peace, patience, joy, and love. Who doesn't want more kindness and self-control?

As we live filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit, God promises these qualities will become evident in our lives. They are the natural result of a life controlled by the Holy Spirit.

God wants each of these spiritual fruit to be growing in your life. As you allow the Holy Spirit to fill you and walk in submission to Him, you have the promise that the fruit of the Spirit are growing in your life.

Today's Promise: Romans 8:1

Shame, guilt, and condemnation seem to go hand in hand when it comes to religion. Religious people are often the most beaten down and guilt-ridden people around. Religion loves to make you feel ashamed, guilty, and worthless.

There is no shame or condemnation for the followers of Christ. All your shame, guilt, and self-reproach disappeared when you made Jesus your Savior and Lord.

In Christ, you stand before God clean and pure.

Never allow the condemnation of religion to overshadow the forgiveness you have found in Christ.

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.

Galatians 6:9 – Keep Planting and the Harvest Will Come.

Psalm 1:2-3 – You Are Planted by Streams of Living Water.

2 Corinthians 5:7 – Walk by Faith Not by Sight.

Romans 6:6-7 – You are no Longer a Slave to Sin.

2 Corinthians 12:9 – My Grace is Enough for You.

Today's Promise: Colossians 3:16

Paul encourages us to let the word of Christ richly dwell in us.

How do you allow the word of Christ to dwell in you? The word "dwell" means to take up residence. Letting the word of Christ dwell in you is allowing God's word to become such a part of your heart and mind that it is entirely at home in you.

You allow the word of Christ to dwell in you by living in obedience to His word.

As the Word of Christ dwells in you richly, you will develop a new level of wisdom in everything you do.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 12:9

The Apostle Paul was in a particularly difficult time in his life. He had prayed and prayed for God to remove a problem or weakness he experienced.

God's grace in your life strengthens and empowers you.

We pray for God to remove or resolve the problems we face. Sometimes God's answer is not to remove the problem but to give you His strength and power to go through the situation.

God says His power, combined with your weakness, is the perfect formula for His glory.

Whatever you are facing today, God's grace is enough.
