The Daily Promise

Today's Promise: Isaiah 44:3

Have you ever been really thirsty? Have you ever been so thirsty you would give anything for a cool drink of water?

There is another thirst that goes beyond hot summer days; the thirst of the soul. When you are spiritually thirsty, your heart and spirit have dried up, and there is no water.

God promises to pour out the refreshing water of the Holy Spirit on those who are thirsty. He will come and pour the Holy Spirit on us. We don't have to live in spiritual dryness.

Today's Promise: Jeremiah 32:27

Nothing is too difficult for your God. No matter what you are facing or what you are going through, your God can handle it. When God calls you to a new ministry or to take on a new responsibility, He can handle it.

If you are struggling with a decision or facing a problem you feel you just can't handle, remember, "God's got this."

If God can create the universe just by speaking it into being, He can handle the problems you face. Nothing is impossible for Him.

Today's Promise: Psalm 92:12-14

As followers of Christ, God promises we can thrive and be fruitful now and in our old age.

In this promise, the psalmist says four things about the righteous man or those who have the righteousness in Christ.

First, you will flourish like a palm tree. God promises that you can thrive even when life is difficult.

Second, as you walk with the Lord, you will be strong when others fail.

Third, you will live in the presence of God.

Fourth, you will continue to be fruitful and thrive in your old age.

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.

Matthew 2:1-2 - The Wise Seek Jesus.

Isaiah 9:6 – Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor.

Matthew 1:23 – The Savior Who Was Born of a Virgin.

Isaiah 7:14 - Immanuel - God is With Us.

John 3:16 - The Greatest Promise of Christmas.

Today's Promise: John 3:16

God loved you and me so much that He sent his Son Jesus.

Jesus was more than a teacher, another prophet, or even an enlightened person. Jesus was God poured out in the flesh.

No matter who you are, what you've done, or where you find yourself. Let me remind you today that God loves you.

Although we all love the presents, the tree and all the trappings of Christmas, the real meaning of Christmas is God's love.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 7:14

The prophet Isaiah prophesied the birth of Jesus seven hundred years before Christ was born. Isaiah

When the angel appeared to Joseph in Matthew 1, he quoted this prophecy and then added a definition of the word Immanuel: God is with us.

The promise of Christmas was that God moved from the temple to God walking among us. Because of the manger, God dwelt with His people.

God is with you today. You are never alone and need never fear. He is only a prayer away.

Today's Promise: Matthew 1:23

At the heart of Christianity is the virgin birth. Here are four reasons why the virgin birth is important.

1. It shows the uniqueness of Jesus. Jesus had an early mother, but His father was God.

2. It showed His sinless perfection. He didn't carry the sinful nature of Adam.

3. It broke the chain of sin. Just as sin came into the world through Adam, Jesus brought righteousness.

4. Jesus is the perfect example of God. If you want to know what God is like, just look at Jesus.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 9:6

As Isaiah describes the coming Messiah, he calls Him the Wonderful Counselor. There are two important aspects of this title.

First, he describes the incredible power of this ruler of all ages. He will be the supernatural king who will reign and rule for all eternity. This mighty and powerful king will also be One who is full of wisdom and compassion.

Second, Jesus would be the great counselor. If you need direction today, call on the Wonderful Counselor. The Wonderful Counselor invites you to come and receive from Him all you need.

Today's Promise: Matthew 2:1-2

After the birth of Jesus, wise men show up, asking where the King of the Jews was born.

Although Jesus came to the Jews, some of the first people who came to worship Him were not Jews but Gentiles. What a wonderful example of how Jesus was the Savior for all people.

Jesus invites you and me to seek Him with all our hearts. He promises that when we seek Him, we will find Him. (Matthew 6:33,7:7)
