The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Psalm 119:14

Like so many things in the Christian walk, receiving joy from obeying God doesn't seem to make sense.

The Psalmist says we can rejoice over obeying God the way a person rejoices over finding an envelope of money, seeing their stocks go up, or discovering a hidden treasure.

Here are four short reasons why you can rejoice in obeying the Lord.

1. Obedience produces a blessed life.

2. Obedience keeps you from harm.

3. Obedience pleases Your Father.

4. Obedience shows your love for Christ.

The benefits of obedience far outweigh the cost of walking in disobedience.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 2:4-5

God is not just merciful; He is rich in mercy. Because of that abundant mercy, He has made you and me alive in Christ.

Before you came to Christ, you were dead in your sin. Your sin separated you from God, and you were spiritually dead.

Christ forgave your sins but also made you alive in Him. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the life of God is flowing through you.

Eternal life is simply living out the life of Christ in you.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 62:5

How does God see you? How do you see yourself before God? This promise gives us a great insight into how God sees us.

God sees you the same way a groom sees his new bride. As part of His church, you are the bride of Christ. You are the focus of His attention. He waits in anticipation for you to be with Him throughout all eternity.

You need never live in fear, shame, or feel insignificant. The God of the universe is overjoyed with you. You are his bride, and He is your groom.

Today's Promise: Romans 10:17

If you want to grow in your faith, you must spend time in God's Word. No other practice will help you grow in your faith, like reading and studying the Bible.

Your faith grows as you spend time in the Word of God.

Finally, don't just read the Bible. As you read, ask God to open your heart and let it speak to you. Find ways to apply what you read to your daily life.

Let the Holy Spirit move God's Word from your head to your heart.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:1

Peace. It's a hard thing to come by these days. From political uncertainty to the rise of depression and anxiety, it seems our entire world is suffering from a lack of peace.

Sin keeps us from experiencing peace and puts us at odds with God. There is no peace with God as long as there is sin.

Through faith in Christ, you can face every day knowing you have peace with God.

If you are struggling today, remember you have peace with God through faith in Christ and the promise of peace in every area of your life.

https://dailypromise.com/god-loves-to-hear-his-children-pray-2/Today's Promise: Proverbs 15:8

Did you know God delights in your prayers? He is excited for you to come into His presence. Many Christians are reluctant to approach God in prayer. They feel unworthy to lift their voice and may even think, "Surely God has more important things to do than listen to my prayers."

They don't realize that God actually delights in their prayer. Did you know that God loves it when you spend time with Him in prayer?

When you pray, God listens. He not only listens, but he is delighted to hear your prayers. God delights in hearing from you today. He wants you to come before Him, bringing your needs, prayers, and concerns.

Today's Promise: James 5:16

Prayer is a powerful weapon. When you pray, you connect with God and release the power of heaven into any situation. Through prayer, people have been saved, healed, and transformed.

You may be thinking that only special and mature Christians can pray effectively. You don't have to have a special anointing or be a preacher to pray with power.

When you pray, things happen. God gets involved in the situation and begins working in it.

Prayer releases heavenly forces to battle against the work of Satan in a situation.

Today's Promise: 1 John 2:1

When you became a Christian, Jesus forgave your sin and gave you His rightness before God.

Although you may try to live a life of holiness and obedience, there are times when you fall into sin. Instead of feeling guilty and condemned for what you have done, remember Jesus is on your side. He stands between you and God the Father, and His blood forgives your sin.

Jesus stands between you and God. Instead of God seeing your sin, He sees the righteousness of Jesus in you.
