1 Peter 2:9 (WEB) But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light: Promise #64: I have called you out of darkness into My glorious light. I love how all of the letters in the New Testament speak of our old life as being in the past tense. We are no longer sinners, but are now sons and daughters. We no longer live in darkness, but we have been called into the glorious...

Isaiah 54:10 (WEB) For the mountains may depart, and the hills be removed; but my loving kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall my covenant of peace be removed,” says Yahweh who has mercy on you. Promise #63: Though the mountains vanish, My unending love with never leave you.

Psalm 45:6 (WEB) Your throne, God, is forever and ever. A scepter of equity is the scepter of your kingdom. Promise #61: My throne will stand forever and justice will reign in My kingdom. While evidence of injustice is all around us in the world that we live in, justice reigns in the kingdom of our God. We have the assurance that His throne will last forever. This means that the injustice that we see and experience around us is only short term. The Apostle Paul encourages us to fix our eyes on the unseen, not on that which is...

Psalm 24:1 (WEB) The earth is Yahweh’s, with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. Promise #60: The earth belongs to Me and all that is in it. When everything seems to be spinning out of control, it is comforting to remember this promise. When the economy is shaking and fear rises up in people’s hearts around you, it is reassuring to meditate on the bigness of our God. The New International Version translation of Psalm 24:1 says it this way… The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;...
