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.

John 17:13 - Jesus Fills You With Joy.

2 Thessalonians 3:16 – You Have the Peace of God.

Philippians 4:6 - The Cure for Worry.

Galatians 2:20 - Christ Lives in You.

Joshua 1:9 – You are Strong and Courageous.

Today's Promise: Joshua 1:9

Joshua had just taken the place of Moses as the leader of the Children of God. They had entered the promised land and were facing multiple enemies that were stronger and mightier than them. I'm sure Joshua must have thought, "What have I gotten myself into?"

Three times in verses six through nine, God tells Joshua to be strong and take courage. God says the same thing to you and me today.

When you see all the fear and worry around you, remember God is with you.

Today's Promise: Galatians 2:20

When you came to Christ, God did more than forgive your sins and provide heaven when you die. Those two things are incredible on their own, but just like God, He took it to the next level.

When you came to Christ, Jesus came into your heart; He took up residence in you.

This is more than just symbolic or metaphorical; Jesus literally took up residence in you.

Since Christ is in you, He leads you. If you listen, you will be amazed at how God leads you throughout your day.

Today's Promise: Philippians 4:6

The Christian's secret power is prayer. Prayer can be directed across the country and arrive in an instant. Prayer brings the glory of heaven into the mundane of life.

When you pray, you step into heaven and bring your request to the King of Glory.

Unfortunately, we fail to use this secret weapon God has given us. Instead, we choose to worry, fret, and be anxious about what we're are going through.

Prayer is the cure for worry. If you want to overcome worry and anxiety, then pray about everything.

Today's Promise: 2 Thessalonians 3:16

More than ever, we need the peace of God. Our screens bombard us with fearful messages about one disaster after another. We aren't sure who we can trust and what we should do next.

Jesus is the Lord of Peace. As the Lord of peace, He is the source of peace in our lives.

As you give your life to him, the Lord of Peace will fill you with His peace. It is a supernatural peace that goes beyond your understanding.

Today's Promise: John 17:13

In the last few hours before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed for His disciples. As followers of Christ, we can claim that prayer today.

Jesus prayed that God would protect those who followed Him and that they would receive the full measure of His joy.

Jesus was a joyful man. He was not the pious, sorrowful person as depicted in so many films—his joyful countenance attracted individuals and crowds.

Jesus' prayer for you today is that you live in the same measure of Joy that He did as He walked on this earth. Imagine living in the joy of Jesus every day.

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.

Hebrews 11:6 - Faith That Pleases God.

Ephesians 1:17 – God Gives Wisdom and Revelation.

Romans 5:3-4 - You Can Rejoice in Hardship.

1 John 3:19 – No More Condemnation.

2 Peter 1:3 – You Have Everything Needed for Godly Living.

Today's Promise: 2 Peter 1:3

God has given you everything you need for life and godly living. His supernatural power has provided everything you will ever need to live the Christian life.

The God you serve is a generous God who willingly provides all you need.

The Christian life isn't about struggling to perform or please God. The true Christian life is living in the blessing and power Christ has already given you.

Today, you have everything you need to live and walk in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Today's Promise: 1 John 3:19-20

For many Christians, Guilt is a way of life. When they pray, they feel overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame. Every time a service opportunity arrives, they feel unworthy for God to use them.

Once we confess and repent of a sin, God never brings it up again. God has removed our sin as far as the east is to the west. (Ps. 103:12)

God desires for you to live a guilt-free life by the power of the Holy Spirit. When you sin, you repent, receive forgiveness, and move forward in your Christian life.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:3-4

If there was anyone who experienced suffering, it was the Apostle Paul. He was wrongfully accused, spent time in a Roman prison, and was even shipwrecked. Amid all these difficulties, he learned to rejoice.

Paul knew that God used suffering to transform his life and faith. As a Christian, suffering and pain work for you, not against you. Suffering causes a chain-reaction of spiritual growth in your life.

Rejoice, knowing God is working to bring you through your most difficult situation.
