The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Hebrews 6:19

There is no doubt about it; at some point, you are going to face some rough seas.

There are times when you feel like you are about to sink. You feel pressured from every side and aren't sure what your next step should be. You feel like you are being pushed along by the currents of the storm.

When the wind is blowing, and the waves crash over your life, you can rest assured that you have a strong anchor to keep you grounded and strong.

Your sure anchor is Jesus Christ.

Today's Promise: 1 Thessalonians 5:18

God calls you to a life of thankfulness. Just a few minutes of giving thanks for the blessings God has given you can completely transform your attitude and outlook.

God calls you to give thanks in everything. Giving thanks in everything is not giving thanks for everything. It's hard to be thankful for a flat tire, a negative doctor's report, or a difficult marriage.

However, you can give thanks in those situations because you know God is still in control.

Giving thanks is a confession that God is good and He takes care of His children.

Today's promise: Psalm 30:5

As a follower of Christ, you live in the favor of God. God's favor is His supernatural blessing and kindness toward you. The New Testament version of favor is "grace."

God pours out His favor on all His children. His favor provides for your every need. Every blessing of God is evidence of His favor. You can't earn His favor; it is a gift of grace.

One of the most remarkable aspects of God's favor is found right in the middle of today's verse. God's favor lasts a lifetime.

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 5:1 – Jesus Brings Peace with God.

Romans 10:17 – Reading God's Word Strengthens Your Faith.

Isaiah 62:5 – The Lord Rejoices Over You.

Ephesians 2:4-5 – Alive in Christ.

Psalm 119:14 – Joyful Obedience.

Today's Promise: Psalm 119:14

Like so many things in the Christian walk, receiving joy from obeying God doesn't seem to make sense.

The Psalmist says we can rejoice over obeying God the way a person rejoices over finding an envelope of money, seeing their stocks go up, or discovering a hidden treasure.

Here are four short reasons why you can rejoice in obeying the Lord.

1. Obedience produces a blessed life.

2. Obedience keeps you from harm.

3. Obedience pleases Your Father.

4. Obedience shows your love for Christ.

The benefits of obedience far outweigh the cost of walking in disobedience.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 2:4-5

God is not just merciful; He is rich in mercy. Because of that abundant mercy, He has made you and me alive in Christ.

Before you came to Christ, you were dead in your sin. Your sin separated you from God, and you were spiritually dead.

Christ forgave your sins but also made you alive in Him. By the power of the Holy Spirit, the life of God is flowing through you.

Eternal life is simply living out the life of Christ in you.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 62:5

How does God see you? How do you see yourself before God? This promise gives us a great insight into how God sees us.

God sees you the same way a groom sees his new bride. As part of His church, you are the bride of Christ. You are the focus of His attention. He waits in anticipation for you to be with Him throughout all eternity.

You need never live in fear, shame, or feel insignificant. The God of the universe is overjoyed with you. You are his bride, and He is your groom.

Today's Promise: Romans 10:17

If you want to grow in your faith, you must spend time in God's Word. No other practice will help you grow in your faith, like reading and studying the Bible.

Your faith grows as you spend time in the Word of God.

Finally, don't just read the Bible. As you read, ask God to open your heart and let it speak to you. Find ways to apply what you read to your daily life.

Let the Holy Spirit move God's Word from your head to your heart.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:1

Peace. It's a hard thing to come by these days. From political uncertainty to the rise of depression and anxiety, it seems our entire world is suffering from a lack of peace.

Sin keeps us from experiencing peace and puts us at odds with God. There is no peace with God as long as there is sin.

Through faith in Christ, you can face every day knowing you have peace with God.

If you are struggling today, remember you have peace with God through faith in Christ and the promise of peace in every area of your life.
