Jeremiah 29:13 (WEB) You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. Promise #20: If you search for Me with all your heart, you will find Me. When my children were young, one of the games that I would play with them was called ‘hide and seek’. I would hide and then they would try to find me. The game is pretty simple and lots of fun. The whole point of this exercise was that they would eventually find me… and that was the best part! I would never have thought to...

Numbers 6:24 (WEB) ‘Yahweh bless you, and keep you. Promise #19: I will bless your life and keep watch over you always. God instructed Moses to pray a special prayer of blessing over the Israelites every day. It is an often quoted blessing and one of my most favorite ones in the Bible. Numbers 6:24-27… 24 ‘Yahweh bless you, and keep you. 25 Yahweh make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you. 26 Yahweh lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.’ 27 “So they shall put my name on the children of Israel;...

2 Corinthians 12:9 (WEB) He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me. Promise #18: My power will rest on you when you are weak. Today’s promise comes from an encounter that Paul the Apostle had with the Lord Jesus Himself. It would be helpful if you could read the entire text found in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. In a nutshell, Paul has this incredible third heaven experience where he sees amazing...

Proverbs 3:11-12 (WEB) 11 My son, don’t despise Yahweh’s discipline, neither be weary of his reproof: 12 for whom Yahweh loves, he reproves; even as a father reproves the son in whom he delights. Promise #17: I will discipline you in love as a father who loves his children. When we think of being disciplined, we usually default to our own life experience of what that meant for us. If we were treated harshly as children, it would be understandable for us to fear the Lord’s discipline because we might see His discipline through the same lens of our own...

Psalm 37:24 (WEB) Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand. Promise #15: I will take hold of your hand to keep you from falling. The fear of failing is a powerful motivator to keep us from doing things that require some form of risk. If we believe that we will be rejected by God if we stumble and fall, then we may not be willing to risk at all. I love today’s promise because it clearly shows that it doesn’t bother the Lord in the least when we stumble and fall. The...
