GOD'S PROMISES
PSALM 56:10 (ERV)
I praise God for his promise.
I praise the LORD for his promise to me.
2 TIMOTHY 1:14 (CEB)
Protect this good thing that has been placed in your trust through the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God entrusts us with his promises and the skills needed to live according to them and to share them.
PRAYER
Thank you, God, for your promises given to us -- to me. I confess that I'm overly casual about my responsibility. Show me how to apply your promises to my situation and give me, please, the energy to act on your word. I'm going to celebrate your promises by acting on them. Amen.
