Today's Promise: Hebrews 12:15

You can't go through life without experiencing hurt or disappointment.

If you aren't careful, those hurts and disappointments can take hold in your heart. Unforgiveness always leads to bitterness.

You remove the root of bitterness through forgiveness.

As you show others the same grace and forgiveness Christ gives you, you will find those roots of bitterness wither and die.

It takes time, but as you release forgiveness through the grace of God, you will find new freedom, joy, and happiness.

Today’s Promise: 1 Kings 8:56

The God you serve is a promise-keeping God.

In this scripture, Solomon gives a blessing to the people of God. He reviews their history and reminds them that God's promises never fail. What God said He would do; He did.

The God you serve is the God who makes good on His word. You and I can stand alongside King Solomon and agree that not one of God’s promises has failed.

Faith believes that what God has said, He will do.

Mark 1:40-41 - Jesus is Always Ready.

Today's Promise: Mark 1:40-41

Leprosy was the most devastating disease of the New Testament days.

The leper who came to Jesus believed He could heal him, but he wasn't sure Jesus would take the time or have the desire to heal him.

When Jesus saw this leper, He responded with compassion. Jesus's compassion was followed by action, and He healed him.

We often come to God in prayer, feeling as though we need to convince God to hear our prayer or meet our needs. We forget that Jesus is generous with His healing and help.

Today's Promise: Isaiah 40:11

One of the most consistent pictures of our relationship with God is that of the shepherd and his sheep. Jesus called himself the "good" shepherd.

As your Good Shepherd, He also carries you in His arms

On your weakest days, when you are struggling or hurting, Jesus comes along, picks you up, and carries you close to His heart.

Finally, your Good Shepherd gently leads you. Like all sheep, it's easy to get distracted and wander away from the right path.

Today’s Promise: Ephesians 3:16

God promises strength and power through His Holy Spirit no matter what you face today.

Real strength begins in your heart and works its way out into your life.

God is giving you supernatural strength to face any challenge before you today.

The very power of Christ is flowing through you. His Holy Spirit will give you the strength and determination you never thought you had.

When your heart is empowered and strengthened, you can do anything. You can go longer than you imagine, further than you thought possible, and stay with it until you finish.
