The Daily Promise

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 to 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. He 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 to hurt you, God can use it for good.

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

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.

Proverbs 12:2 - You Live in God's Favor.

Hebrews 4:12 - God's Word is Powerful.

Psalm 71:14 – You Can Trust in the Lord.

John 15:8 - You Will Produce Spiritual Fruit.

Romans 8:38-39 - Nothing Can Separate You from God's Love.

Today's Promise: Romans 8:38-39

The love of God is the most powerful force in the universe. It was His love that created everything you see around you. It was the love of God that sent Jesus to die for your sins.

There is nothing in all creation that can separate you from the Love of God.

There is nothing you can do that will separate you from the Love of God. His love goes beyond your actions or attitudes. He loves you beyond your understanding.

He loves you with an unlimited, unbridled love that will never end.

Today's Promise: John 15:8

God desires every Christian to be fruitful. When you are a fruitful Christian, you bring glory and honor to Christ.

Growing Christians, walking in fellowship with Christ will naturally produce spiritual fruit.

The secret to growing spiritual fruit is abiding in Christ. Abiding in Christ is resting in your relationship with Jesus.

God is working in your life to produce spiritual fruit. All you have to do is allow Him to work in you.

Today's Promise: Psalm 71:14

This promise opens with a declaration. "But as for me." The Psalmist says it doesn't matter what anyone else is doing; my commitment is to hope in the Lord.

What does it mean to "hope in the Lord?" To hope in the Lord is to place your complete faith and trust in God. Hope is a patient expectancy that God will fulfill His promise.

The confession of your hope in the Lord is praise. As you place your hope and trust in the Lord, the natural outcome is praise.

Today's Promise: Hebrews 4:12

For Christians, the Bible is a love letter written by their Heavenly Father.

The Bible is a living book. Like no other book, the Bible speaks to the heart of its reader.

When you seem to be going through a dry spell in your Christian life, get into the word and allow it to energize your spirit.

The Bible also can bring healing and comfort in the darkest of times. Through God's Word, you can find healing for the hurts and wounds of life.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 12:2

I want to experience everything God has for me. I don't want to get to heaven and find I have missed out on most of God's blessings.

The verse says a "good" man will live in God's favor.

Here is the key to walking in God's favor.

When you became a Christian, God did an amazing work in your spirit. He imparted the righteousness of Jesus in your heart. When you allow that righteousness to flow into every area of your life, you begin walking in God's favor.
