Psalm 40:1 (WEB) I waited patiently for Yahweh. He turned to me, and heard my cry. Promise #114: Wait patiently for Me and I will hear your cry. It was King David who wrote this psalm. He was a man who knew a lot about learning to be patient in the midst of extreme hardship. As a teenage boy, he was anointed king of Israel by the prophet Samuel, only to then wait many years to see it come to pass. In between the promise and the fulfillment there was much heartache and suffering. Not long after the promise, things...

Ephesians 3:17-19 (WEB) 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know Christ’s love which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

In today’s promise, we read that we can ask God for wisdom and He is glad to give it...

James 2:5 (WEB) Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? Promise #111: I have chosen the poor to be rich in faith and heirs of My kingdom. The gospel is good news for the poor. Jesus told us in Matthew 5 that blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of God (Matthew 5:3). In today’s Scripture, James is reminding us that God has chosen the poor of this world to be...

Ephesians 6:9 (WEB) You masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with him. Promise #110: I do not show favortism in My family. In today’s Scripture verse, Paul the Apostle is giving instruction to the Church on how masters should treat their servants. He reminds them that they also have a Master in heaven who doesn’t show favortism so we should be careful not to mistreat those who are under our own supervision either. Ephesians 6:9 in the...
