Today’s Promise
I Hold Onto the Promises of God
Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

When God Makes a Promise
Every promise of God is worth claiming. When God makes a promise, you can be confident He will fulfill it.

God’s faithfulness is an expression of His character. Because we know He is faithful, we can claim the promises He has made.
