The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Psalm 31:19

God has stored up goodness and mercy to those who fear and take refuge in Him. Fearing the Lord is honoring Him for who He is. Taking refuge in the Lord is placing your trust in Him.

Imagine a huge warehouse in heaven filled with every blessing you will ever need. God has anticipated your need before you even ask.

When you fear and trust the Lord, you open the doors to the warehouse. No matter what you go through, you will never deplete the goodness and mercy God has for you.

Today's Promise: Matthew 10:42

The Kingdom of God often works the opposite of the world and our thinking.

Jesus has just finished dropping a list of things His followers should do. All are contrary to the way we would normally act.

Jesus commands His followers to be generous givers. We are to be conduits of His blessings. When God blesses us, we pass those blessings along to others.

When you give to a friend in need, God notices. Jesus said that even a cup of water given in His name would not be overlooked. God blesses those who bless others.

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.

Genesis 50:20 – What was Meant for Evil, God used for Good.

2 Timothy 2:13 – When we are Unfaithful, God is Faithful.

Genesis 1:1 – The Promise of a Creator.

Romans 5:1-2 – You can Overcome Every Temptation.

1 Samuel 7:12 – Thus Far, the Lord has Helped You.

Today's Promise: 1 Samuel 7:12

Today we look at how reviewing God's help in the past gives you new strength to face today's problems.

When God gave victory to the Children of God over the Philistines, the prophet Samuel created a stone monument saying, "Thus for the Lord has helped us."

When your faith is weak, take some time to review all God has done for you In the past. When you remember all God has done for you before, you are reminded that God will help you face the problems and challenges of today.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 2:18

As a Christian, you will be tempted. Every day, the world around you and the invisible kingdom of darkness come against you. Their goal is to move you from obedient dependence on God to independent rebellion toward God.

If they can't cause you to sin, they will try to distract you and keep your eyes off the Lord Jesus.

When you are faced with temptation, know that Jesus is there with you. Look to Him for victory over each temptation. You will find strength as never before through the power of Christ in you.

Today's Promise; Genesis 1:1

If you look at creation, it's hard not to believe there is a God. The beauty of creation is the expression of the creator God.

The Bible begins with a promise. You may have never considered it before, but the first verse in the Bible says there is a God, and He is the creator. The world around you is the expression of the great creator God.

As the creator, He is involved in the world He created. As your creator, He has a plan for your life.

Today's Promise: 2 Timothy 2:13

Your Heavenly Father is a faithful God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His steadfast love for you is beyond your understanding.

God is also faithful to His word. When God makes a promise, you can count on it.

Finally, God is faithful to His children. Even when we are unfaithful, God is still faithful.

Your unfaithfulness doesn't affect His faithfulness. God loves you so much that He will allow your unfaithfulness. Like the prodigal son's father, God is always watching for your return. He greets you with open arms and celebrates your return.

Today's Promise: Genesis 50:20

Few people have suffered as much injustice as the Old Testament character Joseph. He was sold into slavery and betrayed by coworkers. He was even arrested when he refused sexual advances by his boss's wife.

Yet, through all the difficulties he experienced, Joseph could see the hand of God working in his life.

No matter what we go through, God can use it for good.

Even when others intentionally try to hurt you, God can use it for good.

Forgive them, and by faith, look forward to what God is going to do.

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.

Proverbs 12:2 - Living in God's Favor.

Hebrews 4:12 - God's Word is Sharper than a Sword.

Psalm 71:14 – I Will Trust the Lord.

Psalm 107:1 – Be Thankful Because God is Good.

Romans 8:38-39 - Nothing Will Separate You From the Love of God.

Today's Promise: Romans 8:38-39

The love of God is the most powerful force in the universe. It was His love that created everything you see around you. It was the love of God that sent Jesus to die for your sins.

There is nothing in all creation that can separate you from the Love of God.

There is nothing you can do that will separate you from the Love of God. His love goes beyond your actions or attitudes. He loves you beyond your understanding.

He loves you with an unlimited, unbridled love that will never end.
