The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Deuteronomy 1:30-31

The Children of God faced a crisis of faith as they stood on the edge of the Promised Land. The land was fertile, fruitful, and good, but it was filled with giants.

Have you ever faced a giant? Maybe not a physical one, but giants come in many forms. They can be financial, relational, or even personal.

How many of your giants would fall if you truly believed that God was fighting your battles for you?

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:17

Amazing things happened when you came to Christ.

You are not the same person you were before you came to Christ. It doesn't matter what your past was like, what you did, thought, or how you acted.

In Christ, your old life has passed away. Your desire to please yourself and rebel against God is gone. Now, you desire to please God and live the resurrected life with Christ.

As a new person in Christ, you have Christ living in you and are no longer bound to your past 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.

Isaiah 43:19 – God is Doing a New Work in You.

John 10:10 – Jesus Promises Abundant Life.

1 Corinthians 10:13 – God Gives Victory Over Temptation.

Psalm 37:35 – God Never Abandons His Children.

Psalm 84:11 – I am Your Sun and Shield.

Today's Promise: Psalm 84:11

There are several promises packed into this one simple little verse. When God is your sun, you never walk in darkness.

God is also your shield. I'm not sure how big God's shield is, but I'm sure it must be a big one!

God also provides grace to every believer. You can experience His glory and the presence of God because of His grace.

Finally, as you walk in His grace and glory, you can be assured that He is bringing good things into your life.

Today's Promise: Psalm 37:25

As the Psalmist looks back over his life, he becomes convinced of one thing. He has never seen God fail or abandon His people.

Yet, God never promised a problem-free life.

You may have experienced a season of hard times. Times when it felt like your friends deserted you, and you felt as though you were standing all alone. You may have even felt like no one cared. During those times, you find that He is with you as a follower of Christ.

Today's Promise: 1 Corinthians 10:13

When it comes to temptation, you are not out on your own. God promises victory over every temptation that comes your way.

Here are three things to remember about temptation: First, everyone experiences temptation. Second, God limits the temptations that come into your life. And third, God provides a way of escape from every temptation you face.

Today's Promise: John 10:10

Jesus came to give you life. Not just life, but abundant life, overflowing life, unending life.

Abundant life is eternal life. There is no fear of death for the Christian. We know that when we close our eyes in death, we open them in the presence of God.

But we don't have to wait for heaven to experience the abundant life that Jesus promised. The abundant life begins the day we give our heart to Christ.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 43:19

Aren't you glad you serve the God of new beginnings? Every 24 hours, He gives us a new day and a new year every 365 days.

I believe God gives us each new year as a chance to start afresh. No matter what last year was like, we can pick up a new calendar and start anew.

The God of new beginnings wants to do a new thing in your life today.

If you let Him, this year can be the beginning of a new and deeper walk with Jesus.

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 92:12-14 - You Will be Fruitful in Your Old Age

Jeremiah 32:27 – Nothing is Too Hard of Me

Isaiah 44:3 - Jesus Gives Water to Our Thirsty Souls

Psalm 90:2 – Make Each Day Count

Today's Promise: Psalm 90:12

If we aren't careful, life has a tendency to slip away. God commands us to number our days.

Numbering your days reminds you that you have a limited number of days. It teaches you to treasure each day and live with intention.

Every moment is precious. Every day and year is a gift from the Lord. Count every day, and use it for God's glory.
