Psalm 103:2-3 (WEB) 2 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; 3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases; Promise #225: Forgiveness and healing are among My many benefits. When a person is interviewing for a new job, one of the questions that they would typically ask is “Could you tell me about the benefit package for this job?” Different jobs have different benefits. Health care, dental plans, retirement plans, etc. In this promise, David is worshipping God and reminding himself not to forget all of the many benefits that come as part of...

Luke 11:13 (WEB) If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?” Promise #224: I will gladly give the Holy Spirit to those who will ask. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of both God the Father and God the Son. In Matthew 10:20, Jesus tells His disciples that when they are dragged before the courts, it will not be them speaking, but the Spirit of their Father.

Our God and Father is also our glory, which is the Hebrew word ‘kabowd’, which means a weighty honor that He places on us simply because we belong...

We are safe and secure in the center of His heart. While this is good news for us, it is a promise for our children as well. In...

Psalm 56:11 (WEB) I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? Promise #221: Trust in Me and do not be afraid of what others can do to you. Fear of man is a powerful debilitating force in our world today. It will keep us from taking risks and it will keep us from being the person God made us to be. If we are afraid of what others think, or what they will do to us, we are kept in a prison of their control. God wants us to be...
