James 4:8 (WEB) Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Promise #107: Come close to Me and I will come close to you. I love this promise from God in today’s Scripture verse. God is waiting for you and I to come close to Him. Through the finished work of Jesus on the cross, He has made the first move and has come as close to us as possible. All we have to do is simply acknowledge His willingness to come close to us and...

Psalm 1:1-3 (WEB) 1 Blessed is the man who doesn’t walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers; 2 but his delight is in Yahweh’s law. On his law he meditates day and night. 3 He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither.

Ephesians 2:19 (WEB) So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, Promise #103: I have made you a member of My own household. When I walk into a house where I have never been before, it takes some time to get used to the new surroundings. I am usually very careful not to knock anything over and to do my best not to do anything that would offend the house owner. However, when I walk into my own house, where our family has lived for...

Jeremiah 24:6 (WEB) For I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them again to this land: and I will build them, and not pull them down; and I will plant them, and not pluck them up. Promise #102: I will always build you up, not pull you down. One of the ways an insecure person builds themselves up is by pulling other people down. By making somebody else look inferior, the person doing the ‘pulling down’ might feel superior, at least temporarily. While this is a very unhealthy way to go about life, many...
