Romans 16:20 (WEB) And the God of peace will quickly crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Promise #271: I will soon crush the evil one under your feet. In the Lord’s prayer, Jesus taught us to ask our Father to ‘deliver us from evil’. Jesus wouldn’t have told us to pray this way unless He was certain that His Father would answer this prayer. We know that in this world, we will have trouble in life because we live in a fallen world. Hurting people hurt other people and the cause...

Jude 1:24 (WEB) Now to him who is able to keep them from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory in great joy, Promise #270: I will keep you from falling until you joyfully stand blameless in My presence. One day, each one of us who has called on the name of the Lord will stand before His presence. Today’s promise encourages us that we have nothing to fear on that glorious day. Jesus Christ, our Savior, our Lord, and our Elder Brother, will present us before His Father completely faultless (blameless) on that holy...

Psalm 23:4 (WEB) Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Promise #269: When you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will be with you. Today’s promise is a much loved verse from the often quoted Psalm 23. Most times, we might quote this verse at a funeral service or at another time of extreme loss and of course this verse is fitting for those occasions. At the end of our lives, it is...

2 Corinthians 1:3-4 (WEB) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; 4 who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. Promise #268: I will always be close when you need My comfort. We all need comfort. As children, when we scraped our knee playing in the backyard, we needed the comfort of a mother or a father to simply hold us and reassure...

Psalm 51:17 (WEB) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. Promise #267: I will not reject the sacrifice of a broken spirit and a contrite heart. I am so thankful that the sacrifices that God accepts are those of a broken and a contrite heart. Psalm 34:18 says… The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (NIV) When we are feeling the farthest away from God, He is actually the closest to us. He does not abandon us in our times...
