Ephesians 2:19 (WEB) So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, Promise #103: I have made you a member of My own household. When I walk into a house where I have never been before, it takes some time to get used to the new surroundings. I am usually very careful not to knock anything over and to do my best not to do anything that would offend the house owner. However, when I walk into my own house, where our family has lived for...

Jeremiah 24:6 (WEB) For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. Promise #102: I will always build you up, not pull you down. One of the ways an insecure person builds themselves up is by pulling other people down.

Psalm 23:3 (WEB) He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Promise #101: I will restore and refresh your weary soul.

In today’s promise, King David declares that it is God who is the restorer of His...

Psalm 40:5 (WEB) Many, Yahweh, my God, are the wonderful works which you have done, and your thoughts which are toward us. They can’t be declared back to you. If I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered. Promise #100: The good things that I have planned for you are too many to count. King David wrote Psalm 40 and in it he declares to God how wonderful His works are! David goes on to talk about the many good things that God has planned for us. Let’s read Psalm 40:5 from the New...

Ephesians 2:5-6 (WEB) 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, Promise #99: I have raised you up with Christ to sit in heavenly places. Once we were dead, now we are alive in Christ. Once we lived by the laws of the flesh, now we are are led by the Spirit of God. What a contrast! Death to life. Darkness to light. Earthly to heavenly....
