The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: John 15:9

If there is one word that summarizes the Gospel, it's love. From the beginning, love was the central theme of Christianity. God loves you so much that He gave His Son.

Jesus said, as much as God loves Him, He loves us.

Now here is the twist. Jesus loves you as much as God loves Him.

Jesus invites you to live in His love. To "abide" is to connect or rest. We are to rest and "make ourselves at home" in the love of Christ.

As you abide in His love, His love flows through you to the world around you.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 3:20

I love this promise because it speaks to the unlimited power God has made available to you and me.

The God you serve lives and dwells in complete abundance. There is no limit to his power and glory. He is the God of "more than enough."

We suffer from lack and limitation. We sometimes struggle just get by. Our God lives in overabundance.

God wants you to do more than just get by. He wants you to walk in the abundance of His power in you so you can overflow to those around you.

Today's promise: Psalm 37:23-24

Falling and failure are part of life. Most of us have or will have a great fall. It may be a financial fall, could be a relational fall, or even a moral fall. No matter what your fall looks like, it is common to all of us.

For the Christian, there never has to be a fatal fall. You can survive, get back up, and keep going. Why? Because God has you by the hand. He is there, ready to pull you back up and get you going again.

Today's Promise: Psalm 118:29

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; For His lovingkindness is everlasting. - Psalm 118:29

You can be thankful today because God is good. He is good in His character, good in His ways, and good in how He deals with you.

All we have and all we are come from the Lord. The Lord pours His blessings on us every day. His goodness and commitment love for us never end. We each enjoy more blessings than we ever deserve.

Today, you can be thankful because no matter your situation, you are blessed by God.

Today's promise: 1 John 5:4

In the name of Jesus, you are an overcomer. You can walk in victory today through the power of Christ in you.

As a Christian, you walk in victory, overcoming the world. You overcome temptation, sin, and every attack that comes against you.

Your victory doesn't come from discipline, hard work, or effort. Your victory comes through faith in Christ Jesus.

Every day, you face the powerful enemy of the world. I'm not talking about the physical world; there is nothing wrong with mountains, rivers, or beautiful sunsets. I'm talking about the world system or culture.

The same faith that saved you is the same faith that brings victory in your daily living.

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.

James 4:6 - God's Grace Goes to the Humble.

1 Corinthians 15:58 – Stand Firm in Your Faith.

Psalm 9:10 – When You Know God, You Will Trust Him.

Philippians 4:8-9 – Think on These Things.

2 Corinthians 7:6 – God Will Comfort You.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 7:6

Discouragement is a part of life. All of us face times when we're tired, discouraged, or even depressed.

Some people think that once you become a Christian, you should never feel discouraged or face depression.

The truth is, no matter who you are, there are times when you will face discouragement.

If you let Him, God will use others to encourage and strengthen you.

God never forgets you in your discouragement. He works behind the scenes to bring others into your life to comfort and encourage you.

Today's promise: Philippians 4:8

How you think affects every area of your life. You become a negative person if you allow negative thoughts to fill your mind. You become a positive person if you fill your mind with positive thoughts. This promise invites you to focus your mind on the good and positive things in life.

Paul encourages us to think about the positive.

Our world is filled with negative messages and media. Every day you are bombarded with negativity. You have a choice on how you set your mind.

God empowers you today to be a positive influence in your family, your career, and the world around you.

Today's Promise: Psalm 9:10

When you know the Lord, you trust Him. The more you know the Lord, the more you will trust Him.

God reveals Himself through His Word. The Bible gives us a clear understanding of who God is and what He is like.

However, knowing God is more than just knowing facts about God. God's Word promises that we can know God personally.

Because you know Him so well, you trust Him completely. You know that when you knock on God's door, He always answers and is ready to come to your aid.

Today's promise: 1 Corinthians 15:58

God calls you to be steadfast and immovable in your faith. Every day, the world and the forces of darkness test your faith. God calls you to a firm and unchanging trust and faith in Him.

To be steadfast is to be firm in your faith.

Immovable is a defensive term. No matter what Satan throws at you, you will not be moved from your faith in Christ.

Remember, God always empowers you to accomplish what He commands.

You will abound in good works for the Lord as you remain firm in your faith.
