Hebrews 11:16 (WEB) But now they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed of them, to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them. Promise #333: An everlasting city awaits you, for I am not ashamed to be called your God. Our God and Father has prepared a city for us that will last forever. He has done this because He is not ashamed to be called our God. In the last half of this verse in the Amplified Bible, it says this… For that reason God is not...

2 Corinthians 4:17 (WEB) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; Promise #332: The eternal glory that is in store for you far surpasses your present troubles. I find it interesting that Paul refers to his own struggles as a ‘light affliction’. This is a man who was stoned, shipwrecked and beaten nearly to death on a number of occasions.

Promise #330: I will give you beauty to replace your ashes. I love today’s promise. God promises to give us a crown of beauty to replace our ashes. The Amplified version of the Bible says the first part of Isaiah 61:3 this way… To grant [consolation and joy] to...

Matthew 5:3 (WEB) “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Promise #329: I will bless the poor in spirit with My kingdom. We live in an upside down Kingdom. 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 says that God has chosen the poor of this world to shame the rich, the weak to shame the strong, the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. I am thankful that God has chosen the poor, the weak and the foolish! In today’s promise, we read that the Kingdom of God actually belongs to the poor in spirit. I...
