Matthew 11:25-26 (WEB) 25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants. 26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight. Promise #66: I delight to reveal My kingdom to those with a childlike heart. In today’s promise, we read how Jesus delightfully declares that the mysteries of the kingdom are actually hidden from the wise and prudent and revealed to little children. I especially like how the Amplified Bible translates this passage of Scripture… Matthew 11:25-26…...

1 Corinthians 1:27 (WEB) but God chose the foolish things of the world that he might put to shame those who are wise. God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put to shame the things that are strong; Promise #65: I have chosen the weak things of this world to confound the strong. I don’t know how you feel about today’s promise, but when I read it, it puts a smile on my face. The thought that God has chosen the weak things of the world is very good news for me. In the broader excerpt...

1 Peter 2:9 (WEB) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: Promise #64: I have called you out of darkness into My glorious light. I love how all of the letters in the New Testament speak of our old life as being in the past tense. We are no longer sinners, but are now sons and daughters. We no longer live in darkness, but we have been called into the glorious...

Isaiah 54:10 (WEB) For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed,” says Yahweh who has mercy on you. Promise #63: Though the mountains vanish, My unending love with never leave you. I like how the New International Version Bible translates Isaiah 54:10… Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you. (NIV) Nothing will ever...

1 Peter 1:24-25 (WEB) 24 For, “All flesh is like grass, and all of man’s glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls; 25 but the Lord’s word endures forever.” This is the word of Good News which was preached to you. Promise #62: The grass will dry up and flowers will fail but My Word will endure forever. Everything around us is temporal. The grass of the fields may look beautiful today but they will not remain that way for long. Our homes, our material goods, our jobs… are all temporal. It is...
