Lamentations 3:22-23 (WEB) 22 It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. Promise #344: My tender mercies never fail, for they are new every morning. The NIV Bible says Lamentations 3:22-23 this way… 22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (NIV) Not only does this promise say that God’s tender mercies will never fail, but they are new every morning. Every day...

Psalm 121:3 (WEB) He will not allow your foot to be moved. He who keeps you will not slumber. Promise #343: I will not let you fall, for I am watching over you day and night. God does not sleep and He does not slumber. He watches over us day and night so that we will not stumble and fall. The image that comes to mind as I write today’s devotional is that of a doting father watching over his little toddler as the child is learning to take its first steps. Wherever the little one goes, the father is...

Matthew 5:48 (WEB) Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. Promise #342: I am the perfect Father. In the Old Testament, God was revealed through over 300 different names (ie Jehovah, El Shaddai, Adonai, etc.) but in the New Testament, Jesus reveals God through one name, and that name is ‘Father’. God is all about being a Father. Father is who He is. God is referred to as Father in every book of the New Testament except for one. I believe the summary of New Testament revelation can be found in one Bible verse...

Isaiah 40:11 (WEB) He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young. Promise #340: As a shepherd carries a lamb, I have carried you close to My heart. In yesterday’s promise, we talked about the benefit of having a loving Shepherd lead us and guide us. Today we want to continue that thought with an amazing illustration of God’s love that comes from Isaiah 40:11. In this passage of Scripture, we see a very intimate picture of how...

Psalm 100:3 (WEB) Know that Yahweh, he is God. It is he who has made us, and we are his. We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Promise #339: I am your God and you are the sheep of My pasture. In today’s promise, we are reminded that we are God’s people, the sheep of His pasture. There are many references to us being sheep in the Bible. Jesus said in John 10:27 that His sheep hear His voice and will not follow a stranger. In Psalm 23 we read one of the most celebrated passages that...
