The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Psalm 16:11

Joy comes from the presence of God. The closer you are to His presence, the greater your joy.

I believe Jesus was a joyful person. I don't believe He went around with a pious frown on His face.

As a Christian, joy should be the natural expression of your life.

I love that the Psalmist didn't stop with "joy." He had to add "abundant joy." Abundant joy is overflowing joy. Abundant joy is the joy that is more than enough.

If you are low on joy, take a few moments with just you and God. Allow His joy to overflow you.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 10:23

Every promise of God is worth claiming. When God makes a promise, you can be confident He will fulfill it. The basis of our faith is God's faithfulness to keep His promises.

God's faithfulness is part of His character. Because we know He is faithful, we can claim the promises He has made.

As a believer, you can hold fast to His promise because you know God will fulfill it.

The basis of your faith is that God will do what He has said He would do. Our hope is grounded on God's faithfulness to His promise.

Today's Promise: Philippians 4:11

The Apostle Paul mastered a word that seems so elusive in our world today.

So many people live with an attitude of "just a little bit more." They think if they can just have that new car, new house, new career, or even a new spouse, they would be happy.

We live in a discontented world.

True contentment is not based on your situation or circumstance. True contentment comes from the Lord.

True commitment is found in understanding who you are 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.

Psalm 30:5 – The Favor of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Be Thankful.

Hebrews 6:19 - Jesus is My Anchor.

Romans 8:14 – I am Led by the Spirit.

2 Chronicles 16:9 - God Wants to Bless Me.

Today's Promise: 2 Chronicles 16:9

Imagine the God of the universe searching the earth for people who He can support, bless, and strengthen. The only criterion is that their heart must be blameless before Him.

A blameless heart doesn't mean a perfect or sinless heart. A blameless heart is one that is completely yielded and trusting in God.

As a committed Christian, God is looking for ways to support you, bless you, and strengthen you. He is always on the lookout for those who will trust in Him.

Today's Promise: Romans 8:14

There are only two kinds of people in this world; those led by the Holy Spirit and those led by their own desires.

As a follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit speaks to you and leads you in the way you should go.

You must listen for His voice to be led by the Holy Spirit.

The more you keep your spiritual ears open and obey what you hear, the more you will find the Holy Spirit speaking to you. He will lead and direct you as never before.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 6:19

There is no doubt about it; at some point, you are going to face some rough seas.

There are times when you feel like you are about to sink. You feel pressured from every side and aren't sure what your next step should be. You feel like you are being pushed along by the currents of the storm.

When the wind is blowing, and the waves crash over your life, you can rest assured that you have a strong anchor to keep you grounded and strong.

Your sure anchor is Jesus Christ.

Today's Promise: 1 Thessalonians 5:18

God calls you to a life of thankfulness. Just a few minutes of giving thanks for the blessings God has given you can completely transform your attitude and outlook.

God calls you to give thanks in everything. Giving thanks in everything is not giving thanks for everything. It's hard to be thankful for a flat tire, a negative doctor's report, or a difficult marriage.

However, you can give thanks in those situations because you know God is still in control.

Giving thanks is a confession that God is good and He takes care of His children.

Today's promise: Psalm 30:5

As a follower of Christ, you live in the favor of God. God's favor is His supernatural blessing and kindness toward you. The New Testament version of favor is "grace."

God pours out His favor on all His children. His favor provides for your every need. Every blessing of God is evidence of His favor. You can't earn His favor; it is a gift of grace.

One of the most remarkable aspects of God's favor is found right in the middle of today's verse. God's favor lasts a lifetime.
