Today's Promise: Isaiah 9:6

From the moment Adam and Eve brought sin into the world, God had a plan. He promised, right in the garden, that one would come who would crush the head of Satan and restore what sin had destroyed.

The prophet Isaiah echoed what God said in the garden with new details of who this person would be.

The promise of Christmas is that the baby in a manger would bring new freedom and restoration from the devastating power of sin. That same Jesus will bring freedom and restoration to your life today.

Today’s Promise: Psalm 31:19

God has stored up goodness and mercy to those who fear and take refuge in Him. Fearing the Lord is honoring Him for who He is. Taking refuge in the Lord is placing your trust in Him.

Imagine a huge warehouse in heaven filled with every blessing you will ever need. God has anticipated your need before you even ask.

When you fear and trust the Lord, you open the doors to the warehouse. No matter what you go through, you will never deplete the goodness and mercy God has for you.

Today’s Promise: Luke 6:38

The Kingdom of God often works the opposite of the world and our thinking.

Jesus has just finished teaching His followers how they should live. His teaching was completely contrary to how we would typically act or think.

Jesus commands His followers to be generous givers. We are to be conduits of His blessings. When God blesses us, we pass those blessings along to others.

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.

Genesis 50:20 - You Meant it for Evil, But God Meant it for Good.

2 Timothy 2:13 - God is Always Faithful.

Genesis 1:1 - God is the Great Creator.

Romans 5:1-2 - Jesus Helps When You Are Tempted.

1 Samuel 7:12 - So Far, the Lord has Helped You.

Today's Promise: 1 Samuel 7:12

Today we look at how reviewing God's help In the past gives you new strength to face the problems of today.

When God gave victory to the Children of God over the Philistines, the prophet Samuel created a stone monument saying, "Thus for the Lord has helped us."

When your faith is weak, take some time to review all God has done for you In the past. When you remember all God has done for you before, you are reminded that God will help you face the problems and challenges of today.

Today’s Promise: Hebrews 2:18

As a Christian, you will be tempted. Every day the world around you and the invisible kingdom of darkness come against you. Their goal is to move you from obedient dependence on God to independent rebellion toward God. 

If they can’t cause you to sin, they will try and distract you and keep your eyes off the Lord Jesus.

When you are faced with temptation, know that Jesus is there with you. Look to Him for victory over each temptation. You will find strength as never before through the power of Christ in you.

Today's Promise; Genesis 1:1

If you look at creation, it's hard not to believe there is a God. The beauty of creation is the expression of the creator God.

The Bible begins with a promise. You may have never considered it before, but the first verse in the Bible says there is a God, and He is the creator. The world around you is the expression of the great creator God.

As the creator, He is involved in the world He created. As your creator, He has a plan for your life.

Today's Promise: 2 Timothy 2:13

Your Heavenly Father is a faithful God. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His steadfast love for you is beyond your understanding.

God is also faithful to His word. When God makes a promise, you can count on it.

Finally, God is faithful to His children. Even when we are unfaithful, God is still faithful.

Your unfaithfulness doesn't affect His faithfulness. God loves you so much that He will allow your unfaithfulness. Like the prodigal son's father, God is always watching for your return. He greets you with open arms and celebrates your return.

Today's Promise: Genesis 50:20

Few people have suffered as much injustice as the Old Testament character Joseph. He was sold into slavery and betrayed by coworkers. Even was even arrested when he refused sexual advances by his boss's wife.

Yet, through all the difficulties he experienced, Joseph could see the hand of God working in his life.

No matter what we go through, God can use it for good.

Even when others intentionally try and hurt you, God can use it for good. 

Forgive them, and by faith, look forward to what God is going to do.
