Romans 8:16-17 (WEB) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him. Promise #300: Jesus is happy to share His inheritance with you. This is one of my most favorite passages in the Bible! I share it often when I speak at churches and I love to talk about the implications of what the Apostle Paul was saying when he wrote these words under the influence of...

1 Peter 3:12 (WEB) For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears open to their prayer; but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.” Promise #299: I watch over you and I listen for your prayers. God never slumbers and He never sleeps. His eyes are always watching the righteous and His ears are always listening for their prayers. There is never a moment when God takes His eye off of you. He is always attentive to you and knows what you need before you even ask for it. (Matthew 6:8)...

Philippians 4:7 (WEB) And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.

(John 14:27) In the busyness of life, when you feel like you are being pulled apart in many...

1 Peter 4:8 (WEB) And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins. Promise #297: My love covers a multitude of sins. I like how the NIV Bible translates this verse… Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. (NIV) When Adam and Eve fell in the Garden of Eden, they realized that they were naked and felt shame for the first time in their lives. It is terrible to feel uncovered and exposed. That is why so many of us try and cover our...

1 Corinthians 6:19 (WEB) Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, Promise #296: I have given you My Spirit, so your body could be My temple. God’s Holy Spirit is the very core of His being, just like our spirit is the very essence of our existence. It is amazing to think that He has entrusted us with His precious Holy Spirit. It amazes me to think that we could be the resting place for the living God. Today’s...
