The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: James 4:6

God has a tender spot for the humble. Those who willingly submit their lives to Him find grace to face every situation.

Grace is God's love in action. When you humble yourself before God, His grace flows over you and into every area of your life.

The proud person thinks they don't need God. They think they can live a meaningful life without His help.

If you want God's grace to flow through your life, then humble yourself before Him.

God's grace follows those who are completely dependent on Christ.

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.

Philippians 4:11 – Content in Every Situation.

Hebrews 10:23 – You Can Trust God's Promises.

Psalm 16:11 – Jesus Gives Abundant Joy.

1 Corinthians 15:22 – Christ Made You Alive in Him.

Psalm 37:4 – Delight Yourself in the Lord.

Today's Promise: Psalm 37:4

At first glance, this promise seems like a heavenly credit card with no credit limit. You pick out what you want, and God has to give it to you, right? God has to provide you with everything you want. It says so right here.

Before you get too carried away, there is a condition to this promise. You must delight in the Lord.

If you have ever been in love, you've tasted what it is like to delight in someone.

Delighting in the Lord is focusing your heart and life around Him. When you do so, He gives you the desires of your heart.

Here's Today's Promise: 1 Corinthians 15:22

Today, we are talking about the life we have in Christ. Even though Adam brought sin and death into the world, Jesus brought life and righteousness.

There is no avoiding physical death. We may fight against it by eating healthy, going to the gym, and getting regular checkups, but end the end, we all face physical death.

You have hope today because even though you may die physically, it's just temporary. You will wake up in the presence of Christ to spend eternity with Him.

Today's Promise: Psalm 16:11

Joy comes from the presence of God. The closer you are to His presence, the greater your joy.

I believe Jesus was a joyful person. I don't believe He went around with a pious frown on His face.

As a Christian, joy should be the natural expression of your life.

I love that the Psalmist didn't stop with "joy." He had to add "abundant joy." Abundant joy is overflowing joy. Abundant joy is the joy that is more than enough.

If you are low on joy, take a few moments with just you and God. Allow His joy to overflow you.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 10:23

Every promise of God is worth claiming. When God makes a promise, you can be confident He will fulfill it. The basis of our faith is God's faithfulness to keep His promises.

God's faithfulness is part of His character. Because we know He is faithful, we can claim the promises He has made.

As a believer, you can hold fast to His promise because you know God will fulfill it.

The basis of your faith is that God will do what He has said He would do. Our hope is grounded on God's faithfulness to His promise.

Today's Promise: Philippians 4:11

The Apostle Paul mastered a word that seems so elusive in our world today.

So many people live with an attitude of "just a little bit more." They think if they can just have that new car, new house, new career, or even a new spouse, they would be happy.

We live in a discontented world.

True contentment is not based on your situation or circumstance. True contentment comes from the Lord.

True commitment is found in understanding who you are in Christ.

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.

Psalm 30:5 - His Favor Lasts a Lifetime.

1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Be Thankful in Everything.

Hebrews 6:19 - Jesus is the Anchor.

Romans 8:14 – Led by the Holy Spirit.

2 Chronicles 16:9 - God Wants to Bless You.

Today's Promise: 2 Chronicles 16:9

Imagine the God of the universe searching the earth for people who He can support, bless, and strengthen. The only criterion is that their heart must be blameless before Him.

A blameless heart doesn't mean a perfect or sinless heart. A blameless heart is one that is completely yielded and trusting in God.

As a committed Christian, God is looking for ways to support you, bless you, and strengthen you. He is always on the lookout for those who will trust in Him.

Today's Promise: Romans 8:14

There are only two kinds of people in this world; those led by the Holy Spirit and those led by their own desires.

As a follower of Christ, the Holy Spirit speaks to you and leads you in the way you should go.

You must listen for His voice to be led by the Holy Spirit.

The more you keep your spiritual ears open and obey what you hear, the more you will find the Holy Spirit speaking to you. He will lead and direct you as never before.
