1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (WEB) 4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; Promise #312: My love is patient and kind, and does not keep track of wrongs. Since the Bible says in 1 John 4:16 that ‘God is love’, I think it is safe to say that we could exchange the word ‘love’ in 1 Corinthians for the word ‘God’ if we wanted to. Think about reading this passage of Scripture as a description...

Hebrews 10:22 (WEB) let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water, Promise #311: Draw near to Me and I will cleanse you from an evil conscience.

Today’s promise is an invitation from our Heavenly Father to come close to Him and He will cleanse us from the guilt that...

1 Peter 2:24 (WEB) who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed.

Thank God for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who took upon Himself all of our sin so that we could receive all the tangible benefits of the New Covenant. Jesus paid the price so we wouldn’t have to. Our healing was secured with each stripe of flesh that was torn from His...

Romans 8:2 (WEB) For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. Promise #309: The Spirit of life in Christ has set you free from sin and death. In life as we know it, there are two laws at work. The law of the Spirit of life in Jesus and the law of sin and death. There are many other analogies in the Bible that illustrate this same point… two kingdoms (kingdom of light versus darkness), two trees in the garden, two cities (New Jerusalem and fallen...

Psalm 139:1-3 (WEB) 1 Yahweh, you have searched me, and you know me. 2 You know my sitting down and my rising up. You perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. Promise #308: I know everything about you and am mindful of all your ways. Have you ever walked into a room full of people yet felt completely alone? I believe that we can be surrounded by many people in our day to day lives yet still carry a sense of loneliness in the depths...
