The Daily Promise

Today's promise: 2 Samuel 22:29

This promise shows up as David expresses his praise and thankfulness for God delivering him from his enemies and King Saul. David declares that God is His lamp. A burning lamp was the symbol of lasting happiness and strength. The lamp provided consistent light.

Here are three things the Lamp of God brings.

The lamp of God brings clarity.

The lamp of God removes fears.

The lamp of God keeps you from harm.

You could say the second part of this promise this way. "My God is the one who turns my darkness into light."

Today's Promise: Romans 8:15

Are you living the Christian life as a slave or as an adopted child of God? Your answer to that question has a major impact on your walk with God.

If you think of yourself as a slave of Christ, you will always live in fear.

If you see yourself as an adopted child of God, everything changes. You no longer live in fear but enjoy a loving relationship with your Heavenly Father.

In this episode, we cover four things those who see God as their loving father know.

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.

Romans 8:28 – God is Working for Your Good.

Proverbs 16:3 – Commit Your Plans to the Lord.

Psalm 31:24 – There is Hope in the Lord

Philippians 4:19 – My God Will Supply All My Needs.

Psalm 34:29 – God Will Deliver You.

Today's Promise: Psalm 34:19

So many people expect the Christian life to be free of struggles, difficulties, or problems.

The Psalmist comes right out and says that those who follow God will have difficulties. In fact, he says there will be many of them.

The Bible never promises God will exempt you from every trouble or problem.

The Bible does promise that God will deliver those who follow Him out of all their afflictions. There are at least four ways God delivers you.

Remember, there is always more deliverance than there are problems.

Today's Promise: Philippians 4:19

Do you ever felt like you just don't have what it takes to get through the day? Ever felt like you needed more time, strength, and stamina to accomplish everything you needed to do?

We have all been there. We've all had times when we felt like we just couldn't make it.

I have good news for you! The God you serve is meeting your every need in Christ Jesus. He promised to meet every need that comes into your life.

Today's Promise: Psalm 31:24

You have a future as long as you have hope, but when you lose hope, you lose everything.

When you hope in the Lord, you put your complete faith and trust that what God has said, He will do. As you hope in the Lord, two things happen in your life.

1. Hope gives you new strength.

2. Hope gives you new courage.

The greatest hope is the promise of eternal life. You don't have to wish for eternal life. You can know that when you die, you will spend eternity with Jesus.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 16:3

We all want to be successful. Who doesn't want to see their business, career, and family plans succeed?

Too often, we start making plans and starting projects without ever getting the Lord's approval. When we find ourselves stuck or failing, we wonder why things aren't working out as we planned.

If you want your work to be successful, give it to the Lord for His approval before you even begin. In doing so, you will find new wisdom and guidance as you work. God will bless your work and bring about success.

Today's promise: Romans 8:28

Every day, God is working in your life. You may not see it or know it, but God is quietly working behind the scenes. He is bringing everything you experience together for your good.

This promise doesn't guarantee that God will eliminate every issue or problem that you face. We live in a fallen world, and sometimes bad things happen to good people.

This verse does promise that God will take the bad things that happen and use them for your good and His glory. God has a plan for you and your life.

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 3:16 – The Word of Christ in You.

Romans 8:1 – No Condemnation.

Galatians 5:22-23 – I produce the Fruit of the Spirit

Hebrews 4:16 – Go to God in Confidence.

Psalm 1:3 – You Prosper in Whatever You Do.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Here are this week's verses; Colossians 3:16 | Romans 8:1 | Galatians 5:22-23 | Hebrews 4:16 | Psalm 1:3

Today's Promise: Psalm 1:3

When you delight in the Word of God and focus on living in His presence, you prosper.

The Psalmist uses the "he" in this promise, but the principle applies to everyone.

"Prosper" means to succeed at what you do. It's not a guarantee of financial blessing. This promise is not saying if you read your Bible, you will live like the rich and famous.

Your prosperity reflects living life according to God's Word with wisdom. It becomes a witness to the world around you of God's guidance and grace in your life.
