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.

Hebrews 11:6 - Faith Pleases God.

Ephesians 1:17 - Wisdom and Revelation Come from the Lord.

Romans 5:3-4 - You Can Rejoice Even in Suffering.

1 John 3:19 – Your Heart No Longer Condemns You.

2 Peter 1:3 – God Gives Everything You Need for Godly Living.

Today's Promise: 2 Peter 1:3

God has given you everything you need for life and godly living. His supernatural power has provided everything you will ever need to live the Christian life.

The God you serve is a generous God who willingly provides all you need.

The Christian life isn't about struggling to perform or please God. The true Christian life is living in the blessing and power Christ has already given you.

Today, you have everything you need to live and walk in the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Today's Promise: 1 John 3:19-20

For many Christians, Guilt is a way of life. When they pray, they feel overwhelmed by a sense of guilt and shame. Every time a service opportunity arrives, they feel unworthy for God to use them.

Once we confess and repent of a sin, God never brings it up again. God has removed our sin as far as the East is to the West. (Ps. 103:12)

God desires for you to live a guilt-free life by the power of the Holy Spirit. When you sin, you repent, receive forgiveness, and move forward in your Christian life.

Today's Promise: Romans 5:3-4

If there was anyone who experienced suffering, it was the Apostle Paul. He was wrongfully accused, spent time in a Roman prison, and was even shipwrecked. Amid all these difficulties, he learned to rejoice.

Paul knew that God used suffering to transform his life and faith. As a Christian, suffering and pain work for you, not against you. Suffering causes a chain-reaction of spiritual growth in your life.

Rejoice, knowing God is working to bring you through your most difficult situation.

Today's Promise: Ephesians 1:17

The Apostle Paul opens the book of Ephesians with a prayer for the church in Ephesus.

First, Paul prays God will give us a spirit of wisdom.

Wisdom is knowing how to live in line with the will of God.

Second, Paul prays we receive revelation in the knowledge of God. You only know God through revelation.

The Holy Spirit moves the Word of God from your head to your heart.

The Holy Spirit teaches you, gives you wisdom, and reveals to you the Lord Jesus.

Today's Promise: Hebrew 11:6

The Christian life is a life of faith. The only way to please the Lord is to live by faith.

Faith is trusting that God will do what He has said He would do.

This verse gives us two truths on faith.

First, faith begins with our belief that God exists.

Second, you must believe that God is the rewarder of those who seek Him.

Without faith, you stand alone, trusting in your strength and wisdom. When you live by faith, you walk in the favor and blessing of God, in fellowship with Him, and your life is pleasing to the Lord.

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.

1 Thessalonians 5:24 - God Will Fulfill His Call in You

Romans 6:14 - You are No Under Sin but Under Grace.

Luke 11:9-11 – God Opens Doors When You Ask, Seek, and Knock.

2 Corinthians 5:9 – My Goal is to Please the Lord.

Isaiah 46:10 - God Will Fulfill His Plan in You.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 46:10

When you look around at all the problems the world is facing, it's easy to let fear fill your heart. No matter how much nations talk, war often seems inevitable. Unknown pathogens, corruption, and crime make it easy to wonder if God is really in control.

Before creation began, God had a master plan for this universe.

Nothing happens in your life that God hasn't approved. Just as God accomplishes His master plan in the world, He is accomplishing His master plan in you. You may not see it yet, but God is fulfilling His perfect will for you.

Today's Promise: 2 Corinthians 5:9

Some goals are so worthy they demand giving our entire life in pursuit. Pleasing the Lord is one such goal.

What a simple yet worthy Goal. I will please the Lord. Forget about everyone else and what they think. No matter what the situation, what life throws at me, or what I go through, my one goal is to please God.

Let's join Paul in making our one ambition, our life goal, to please the Lord in all things.

Today's Promise: Luke 11:9-10

This promise is one of those Bible verses we know but rarely practice. It's a great verse to frame and put on the wall, but a better verse to live by.

Prayer is not a one-time act. We don't just say a prayer and then move on with life. Jesus tells us to ask and then keep on asking, to seek and keep on seeking, to knock and keep on knocking.

No matter what you are praying about today, keep on asking, seeking, and knocking. God's answer is on the way.
