But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. – Luke 2:10-11
Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises we learned during the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts.
Monday – God Gives Water to the Thirsty
We began the week celebrating the promise that God pours out His spirit on our thirsty souls. He brings refreshment through the Holy Spirit.
Here’s the promise.
For I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring and My blessing on your descendants. – Isaiah 44:3
Make these confessions.
- God pours out spiritual water on my thirsty soul.
- The Holy Spirit refreshes my heart.
- My heart overflows with the Holy Spirit.
- When my life is dry, I call on the Lord for refreshment.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
There is no reason to walk around spiritually thirsty. Call out to the one who promises spiritual water in the dry and dusty desert.
Tuesday – I Will Number My Days
On Tuesday, we committed to number our days and use each one to the glory of God.
Here’s the promise.
So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. – Psalm 90:12
Make these confessions.
- I number my days, knowing life can easily slip by.
- I treasure every day God gives me.
- I live life with intention, following God’s guidance.
- I use every day for God’s glory.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
When we learn to number our days, we learn to take advantage of every day and every moment.
Wednesday – God is Doing a New Work
Midway through the week, we saw how God is doing a new work in our lives. God wants to do more in your life than you can ever imagine. He wants to grow your faith, deepen your love, and work through you as never before.
Here’s the promise.
Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, rivers in the desert. – Isaiah 43:19
Make these confessions.
- My God is the God of new beginnings.
- He is doing a new work in my life.
- Father, thank you for all you will do in the days to come.
- I give you this year for Your glory.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
Aren’t you glad God is doing something new in you? All you need to do is release your life into His hands.
Thursday – Jesus Promises Abundant Life
On Thursday, we celebrated the abundant life Jesus promised. We don’t have to wait for heaven to experience the overflowing and abundant life. The abundant life begins the moment we put our faith in Christ.
Here’s the promise.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. – John 10:10
Make these confessions.
- In Jesus Christ, I have abundant life.
- Eternal, unending life when I die, and overflowing life today.
- He is my protection, my guide, and my provider.
- Today, I will live in the abundant life Jesus promised.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
Jesus promises abundant life, and you don’t have to wait for heaven to experience it. You can live the abundant life right here and now.
Friday – You Have Victory Over Every Temptation
We ended the week by looking at three promises regarding temptation. 1. Everyone experiences temptation. 2. God limits the temptations we experience. 3. In every temptation, God provides a way of escape.
Here’s the promise.
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. – 1 Corinthians 10:13
Make these confessions.
- My temptations are no different than others.
- God limits what temptations come into my life.
- God always provides a way to escape from every temptation.
- In Jesus Christ, I have victory over every temptation.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
You don’t have to fall to temptation. God has already given you victory. When you face a temptation, know that God has limited the temptation and look for a way of escape.
That’s it for this week. I hope these promises have been a blessing to you. Go back through these promises and allow God to renew your mind with these truths from His Word. I hope you will be at church tomorrow. While there, why not tell your friends about The Daily Promise. Everyone can use a positive word from God’s Word.
