James 1:5 (WEB) But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. Promise #112: Ask Me for wisdom and I will generously give it to you. God loves it when we ask Him for things we need. In Matthew 7:7-11, Jesus encourages us to keep on asking, keep on seeking, keep on knocking and our Heavenly Father will give us what we need. In today’s promise, we read that we can ask God for wisdom and He is glad to give it...

James 2:5 (WEB) Listen, my beloved brothers. Didn’t God choose those who are poor in this world to be rich in faith, and heirs of the Kingdom which he promised to those who love him? Promise #111: I have chosen the poor to be rich in faith and heirs of My kingdom. The gospel is good news for the poor.

It is God’s love for us that makes us great. Not our own...

Isaiah 12:2 (WEB) Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.” Promise #108: You can trust in Me, for I am your strength and your song. God loves it when we trust Him. Trusting God is truly committing our lives into His care and not trying to manage life all on our own. In Proverbs 3:5-6, we are encouraged to trust in the Lord with all our heart and to not lean to our own understanding. God wants us to lean...
