Today’s Promise: Isiah 41:10

What are you afraid of?

Psychologists tell us we are born with only two fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud noises. Every other fear is a learned fear. Unfortunately, we seem to be pretty good learners.

In this verse, God commands us not to live in fear. Fear is confessing that God is not in control. It is confessing that God is not watching over you. This command/promise gives us five reasons why we shouldn’t be afraid.

Learn how the Lord can strengthen and help you by overcoming your fears.

Romans 8:26

Sometimes you are just not sure what or how you should pray.

Have you ever entered into prayer with a loss of words? Maybe you wondered if you were using the right words or praying the right way.

In your weakest times, when you just don't know how to pray, the Holy Spirit, who knows your heart, takes your heart's cry and translates it to the Father.

Today's Promise: John 15:11

The Christian life is a Joy-filled life. Jesus was the most joyful person to ever walk on the earth.

Joy is different from happiness. Happiness is all about your circumstances. If everything is going your way, then you are happy. If not, you're not happy. Joy is heart-based.

Understanding and living in the complete love of God is the beginning point for joy.

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.

Philippians 1:6 - I Will Finish My Work in You.  

John 5:24 - Jesus Gives Eternal Life.

1 Peter 3:12 - God Eagerly Listens for Your Prayer.

John 8:36 - Jesus Set Me Free.

1 Peter 5:10 - God Uses My Suffering.

Today’s Promise: 1 Peter 5:10

No one wants to suffer, but suffering is often part of life. 

When an unbeliever goes through suffering, it is without hope. For the Christian, we know our suffering is perfecting us. We can rejoice in our suffering because we know God is using it for good in our life.

God doesn’t bring you suffering, but He does allow suffering. He uses suffering in your life to perfect, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Today’s Promise: John 8:36

Jesus set you free. And if Jesus set you free, how can you ever walk in bondage again? 

Jesus has set you free in three ways:

He has set you free from your sin.

He has set you free from your past.

He has set you to be free of all that He has called you to be.

Christ set you free to be the person God calls you to be. You are no longer held back by the chains that once kept you down. You are free! 

Today’s Promise: 1 Peter 3:12

It’s easy to get discouraged when it comes to prayer.

As a child of God, you can rest assured that your loving Heavenly Father is attentive to your prayers. He is actively listening for your call.

God has His ear attentive to your voice. His ear is tuned to your call. You never have to wonder if God hears your prayer. He is eager and willing to hear and answer your prayer.

Today’s Promise: John 5:24

The greatest promise in the Bible is the promise of Eternal Life.

Jesus came to give eternal life to those who would place their trust in Him. Eternal life is the final fulfillment of His promise of abundant life.

Every person is separated from God because of their sin.

Christ’s death on the cross brings about forgiveness of your sin and restoration of your relationship with God. His death made way for you to have eternal life.

Today’s Promise: Philippians 1:6

What God began in your life; He will complete. It’s easy to think the Christian life is all about what I need to do. However, the Christian life is really about God working in me.

If you looked back on your walk with God, I’m sure you would see how God has worked in your life, time and time again.

The work God is doing in you is a good work. You may not understand it, or even believe it, but every day God is working in your life to make you more like Jesus.
