The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Psalm 23:2

With everything going on these past few months, many of our stress levels have gone through the roof. Yet, as the Good Shepherd, God promises a quiet place where we can rest under His watchful care.

The Bible often describes us as sheep. However, sheep aren't the smartest of animals. Sheep are very fearful. They are easily spooked and completely defenseless. They need a caring shepherd to watch over them, provide for them, and keep them safe.

God is watching over you today. He is leading you to a place of rest and renewal.

Today's Promise: Psalm 103:8

Do you see God as an angry judge, an impersonal force, or a loving father? Your view of God affects how you live the Christian life. Often, your view of God has more to do with how you were raised than what the Bible says about God.

The only way to have an accurate view of God is to base it on what the Bible says about who God is and what He is like.

This promise gives us four-character qualities of God. We are focusing on that last phrase: He abounds with lovingkindness.

Today's Promise: John 7:39

So many Christians know very little about the Holy Spirit. Yet, when you gave your heart to Christ, the Holy Spirit took up residence in you. Everything God is doing in your life today, He does through the Holy Spirit.

Today we look at seven ways the Holy Spirit is working in our lives today. The secret to a successful Christian life is walking in the power God gives us through the Holy Spirit.

Today's Promise: Genesis 1:27

This promise is one of the most important and powerful verses in God's Word.

You are created. The God who spread the stars across the sky created you. You are not an accident; God created you with a purpose and plan in mind.

God created you in His image.

What does it mean to be "created in His image?"

First, you have eternity in your heart.

Second, you are self-aware.

Third, you are creative.

Fourth, you reflect the glory of God.

You are not an accident; you are the handiwork of the great creator God. God in God's image for His glory.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 1:3

You are blessed. It's a fact. God has blessed you! He has poured out every spiritual blessing on you through His love and grace.

To be blessed by God is to walk in His favor. It is allowing God to bring about good things in your life.

The phrase "spiritual blessings" in this promise isn't referring to the blessing we receive when we get to heaven. Instead, spiritual blessings are the blessing brought to you through the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.

Today's Promise: Malachi 3:6

Even though the world around us is constantly changing, the God we serve never changes. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Change can also be a source of stress and confusion. What you counted on yesterday isn't available today; things have changed.

There is one who never changes. The God you serve is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Since God never changes, His word and promise never change. He still overflows with grace and mercy. He is still the God who rolls up His sleeves and gets involved in your life.

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 3:20 – You are a Citizen of Heaven.

Joshua 21:45 – God Will Fulfill His Promises.

Titus 3:5 – God's Mercy Saves You.

Matthew 6:19-20 – Store Up Heavenly Treasures.

Jude 24 – Jesus Keeps You From Falling

Today's Promise: Jude 24

The book of Jude ends with this powerful benediction on the grand purpose and plan Jesus has for you.

Every day, Jesus is watching over you to bring about His good work in you. This promise gives you three things Jesus is doing in your life today.

First, Jesus keeps you secure in your salvation. He is working to keep you from falling in your faith and from the faith.

Second, Jesus is working in you to present you blameless before God.

Finally, Jesus will present you with great joy to God the Father.

Today's Promise: Matthew 6:19-20

You have a choice as to where you can invest your wealth. You can invest it here on earth or in eternity.

Jesus was not against wealth. He never taught that wealth was a sin or that wealthy people were evil. He did remind us that earthly wealth is fleeting. No matter how hard you try or how much money you make, you can't take it with you.

The only investments that last forever are those made into the kingdom of God.

Kingdom investment is not always about money. It can be about time or talent.

Today's Promise: Titus 3:5

Nothing you can do will make you good enough for God to love you. So many people go through life hoping to be good enough for God. The truth is that even if you try your hardest and do your best, you will still fall short of being good enough for God.

"The good news is that your goodness has nothing to do with God's love for you. This promise serves as a reminder that you are saved not because of the good things you have done, but solely because of God's mercy which has been poured out on you."
