The Daily Promise

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 1:13 – You are Part of the Kingdom of Light.

2 Peter 3:9 – God is Patient.

2 John 1:3 – Mercy, Grace, and Peace Are With You.

John 4:23 – God Seeks True Worshippers.

Philippians 2:13 - God is at Work in You.

Today's Promise: Philippians 2:13

The Christian life begins in the heart. God works in your heart to bring about His will and desire.

So many Christians try to obey God on the outside without allowing God to change them on the inside.

The Christian life is all about allowing the Holy Spirit to transform and empower your thinking so that your actions follow.

You will find new strength and power to live the Christian life in victory and service to Christ as you allow God to transform and empower your heart.

Today's Promise: John 4:23

As a Christian, you have a unique ability to worship God. Only you can worship Him in Spirit and Truth. No other creature can lift up praise and worship like you.

Jesus said that to please God with real worship, we must worship Him in spirit and in truth.

Real worship begins in the spirit. It isn't about the style, the posture, or even the volume.

Real worship is based on truth. Honesty is the beginning point of God-pleasing worship.

God loves it when His children come to Him in thankful praise and worship.

Today's Promise: 2 John 1:3

As followers of Christ, God fills our lives with grace, mercy, and peace.

Grace is the unmerited favor of God. No matter how good you are or how hard you try, it won't affect your standing with God.

God's mercy sent Jesus into the world to save you from your sin. It is God's mercy that created your salvation.

Peace is the result of God's grace and mercy working in your life. Because of His grace and mercy, you have peace.

God's mercy and grace come together to bring about God's peace in your life.

Today's Promise: 2 Peter 3:9

With all the challenges and pressures you face, I want to remember that God is patient with you.

Almost every spiritual giant in the Bible had a significant setback or failure. For example, the night Jesus was arrested, Peter had a chance to make a stand for Christ.

The good news is that God understands your weakness. He knows your weakness and frailty.

God is patiently working in your life. He knows your weaknesses and your failures, but is committed to bringing you into a closer relationship with Him.

Today's Promise: Colossians 1:13

Because of your faith in Christ, you are part of God's kingdom, the Kingdom of Light.

There are two invisible kingdoms in the world: the kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of Light. The kingdom of darkness is ruled by Satan and is set on your destruction. The kingdom of light is the kingdom of God and gives life, love, and freedom.

The power of sin is broken, and Satan has no claim on you. Through your faith in Christ, you are now a citizen of heaven.

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.

1 Thessalonians 4:17 – Christ Will Return.

Galatians 3:29 – An Heirs to the Promise.

2 Corinthians 10:5 – I Take Every Thought Captive.

Proverbs 3:11-12 – God Trains You Like a Good Father.

John 16:33 – True Peace Comes From God.

Today's Promise: John 16:33

Jesus promises you peace. Peace isn't the absence of conflict, problems, or difficulties. Peace comes from understanding that God is in control and that He cares for you. Peace comes from living under the reign of Christ in your life.

When you live in the peace of Christ, He gives you peace with your past, peace in your heart, and peace in the storm.

Jesus never guaranteed a problem-free life. He even said you will have problems and difficulties. However, He also promised that because He overcame the world, His peace will rest on you.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 3:11-12

Many people think that God's discipline is God punishing His children. Every problem they encounter is seen as God's judgment.

When something terrible happens, their first thought is that God is punishing them. They don't see God as the loving Father who desires the best for them.

This verse is more about training than punishment. God is always working in your life for your good.

God allows various trials in your life to build your faith and trust in Him. As your faith is tested, it grows and develops.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 10:5

How you think affects how you live. So now, more than ever, it's important to control your thinking. To walk in the victory Christ promises, you must control your mind by constantly guarding what you allow in your mind and what you think about.

Here are five things about taking every thought captive.

1. Monitor Your Thoughts.

2. Capture Your Thoughts Early.

3. Submit Your Thoughts.

4. Redirect Your Thoughts.

5. Transform Your Thinking.

As a follower of Christ, you can take every thought captive through the power of the Holy Spirit in you.
