The Daily Promise

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 30:21 - God Will Guide Your Steps.

Exodus 23:29-30 – Victory Comes Little by Little.

Psalm 34:18 - God is Near the Brokenhearted.

James 1:2-3 - Rejoice in Every Trial.

Proverbs 1:23 - God Gives Me His Spirit and Shows Me His Word.

Today's Promise: Proverbs 1:23

There are two powerful promises packed into this one verse. Both promises are related because God's Spirit and His Word always go together.

Pentecost fulfilled this Old Testament promise. The Holy Spirit would no longer rest on a person for a while. Now the Spirit would indwell those who put their faith in Christ.

The second part of this promise focuses on God's Word. God will make His words known to you.

When the Holy Spirit reveals and empowers the Word of God, it becomes a powerful force working in your life.

Today's Promise: James 1:2-3

The book of James tells us to Rejoice! For most of us, that makes very little sense.

How in the world can you rejoice when you face trials and difficulties? No one looks down at a flat tire and says, "Praise God, I have a flat tire!"

Instead of looking at your difficulties as a punishment or a curse, James invites you to see them as opportunities for God to work.

In every trial, you can rejoice because God uses every difficulty to strengthen your faith and make you like Jesus.

Today's Promise: Psalm 34:18

When life throws you a knockout punch, God is there to draw you near. When you feel crushed by the things you have experienced, God will save you from hopelessness.

Being brokenhearted is more than having your high school boyfriend break up with you. The brokenhearted are those who have suffered a hurt of such magnitude that it has left them debilitated.

If you are brokenhearted today, Jesus will minister peace and healing to your soul.

Today's Promise: Exodus 23:29-30

Right now, God is working in your life to give you victory. He doesn't give it to you all at once. He works little by little to transform you into the likeness of Jesus.

When God told the Children of Israel about the promised land, He promised to drive out their enemies. God would go before them, and He would fight their battles. However, He would do so little by little.

God works little by little in your life. He leads you one step at a time.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 30:21

God wants to lead you. Throughout the Bible, God promises to lead, direct, and guide those who put their faith and trust in Him.

The problem we face is that God rarely shows us the destination. Like our GSP, God usually gives just the next step.

To hear God's instruction, you have to listen for His voice.

By walking in fellowship with the Lord and listening to His voice, you can be confident that He will lead and direct your path.

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.

Joshua 1:8 – The Key to Prosperity and Success.

Psalm 23:6 – Goodness and Mercy Always Follow You.

Psalm 86:7 – When Trouble Comes, Call on the Lord.

1 John 5:13 - You Can Know That You Have Eternal Life.

Matthew 7:11 - God Gives Good Gifts.

Today's Promise: Matthew 7:11

Jesus described God as our Heavenly Father. When we pray, it's like talking to our daddy. Like a good earthly father, your Heavenly Father gives good gifts to His children.

In this promise, we look at four things God does for His children.

1. He likes to give good gifts to His children.

2. He doesn't always give you what you want.

3. He wants the best for His children.

4. He is always ready to help.

Today's Promise: 1 John 5:13

The greatest promise of all is knowing you have eternal life.

With all the advancements in technology and medicine, the mortality rate is still 100%. Every person will one day close their eyes for a final time and face eternity.

For the Christian, there is no "hoping" for heaven. If you have placed your faith in Jesus Christ for your salvation, you can know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have eternal life.

As a Christian, you can know you have eternal life because God has promised it in His word.

Today's Promise: Psalm 86:7

What do you do when your day of trouble comes? No matter who you are, there will be days of trouble. Sometimes, you have caused them, and sometimes, trouble just seems to show up at your door.

The first way you can respond is with fear and worry. You let the "what if?" train run through your mind.

You can also respond to the day of trouble by complaining.

However, the third way you can respond is to call on the Lord. God will never leave you to face your day of trouble alone.
