The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: John 14:3

One of the greatest promises of scripture is the return of Christ. Jesus promised there would come a time when He would return for His followers. Since the day Jesus ascended into heaven, Christians have been looking forward to the return of Christ.

Jesus said He was preparing a place for each one of us. As His follower, your dwelling place for all eternity is being perfectly designed just for you.

We don't know the time, day, or even the year of His return. Our responsibility is simply to be ready.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review this week's promises so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives.

Here are the promises we covered this week.

Proverbs 2:6-7 – The Lord Gives Wisdom to Those Who Ask.

2 Corinthians 12:10 – When I Am Weak, He is Strong.

Romans 15:13 – The Promises of God Bring Hope.

Ephesians 3:19 – You Can Know the Love of Christ.

2 Corinthians 5:18 – I Am Reconciled to Jesus.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:18

God uses the word "reconcile" in this promise. It is not a word we use very often. It means to bring together or to change thoroughly.

It's the picture of two enemies becoming friends.

God has reconciled us to Him. Through Jesus Christ, although we were once enemies, we are now friends of God.

Since you are a new creature and have the righteousness of Christ in you, God calls you to a ministry of reconciliation. You are to help your friends become reconciled to God.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 3:19

This promise is the third part of a prayer Paul made for the church of Ephesus. We are claiming it for ourselves today.

God wants you to know the full love of Christ. He wants more for you than a head knowledge of His love. He wants you to experience the love of Christ that is beyond your ability to comprehend, a love that goes beyond understanding.

As Warren Wiersbe said, "As a Christian, you never have to worry about inadequate spiritual resources for day-to-day living."

The more you grab hold of God's love, the more you find the abundance of God's presence flowing through your life.

Today's Promise: Romans 15:13

This promise is a prayer for me and you. Hope begins with God and only comes from God. Before you came to Christ, you had no hope.

When you came to Christ, Jesus filled you with hope. Now you have hope for the future, hope for eternity, and hope in God's help for day-to-day living.

Biblical Hope is not just emotional well-wishing. Biblical hope is the confidence that God will fulfill what He has promised.

Joy and peace come from the hope you have in Christ.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 12:10

As is often the case, the principles of the Kingdom of God run contrary to our thinking. Who would ever say, "I am content with weakness." We brag about our strengths.

God loves using weak and flawed people.

We expect great, important people to do big things. No one is surprised when a good-looking, articulate, well-educated person succeeds. When God uses weak people to do great things, there is no question about who gets the glory.

Your weakness will not keep God from using you.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 2:6-7

We can all use a little wisdom, right? If you are like me, you look back at some of your past decisions and wonder what you were thinking. If there were a way to make better choices, we could live better lives.

God promises wisdom to those who seek Him. Wisdom is the ability to make good choices that bring about success.

When you seek wisdom from the Lord, He blesses you in two ways.

1. He gives wisdom to those who seek Him.

2. God's wisdom is a shield around you.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review this week's promises so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives.

Here are the promises we covered this week.

Psalm 145:8 – The Lord is Gracious, and Merciful.

Psalm 86:7 – Call Upon the Lord.

John 7:37-38 - Jesus Promised Living Water.

Zechariah 4:6 – Not by Might, but by the Spirit.

Psalm 23:4 – I Will Not Fear, for God is With Me.

Today's Promise: Zechariah 4:6

When God gives you an assignment, He always provides everything you need to accomplish it. Is there something God has told you to do, but it seems like a mountain before you?

What is the mountain that you are facing today? Your power or strength won't move it. You won't conquer it with your best thinking or the world's wisdom.

It is not by your might nor by your power but by the Holy Spirit's power, strength, and leadership; you can fulfill all God has called you to be and do.
