Daily D – Romans 4:20-21

Romans 4:20, 21
He did not waver in unbelief at God’s promise but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, because he was fully convinced that what God had promised, he was also able to do. (CSB)

He didn’t tiptoe around God’s promise asking cautiously skeptical questions. He plunged into the promise and came up strong, ready for God, sure that God would make good on what he had said. (The Message)

—

A promise made is a promise kept. This is true of God now and forever. It has always been true for him. My record at promise-keeping is a bit more uncertain. Remembering a rather embarrassing Top Ten list of unkept promises doesn’t take long.

I have sometimes made promises rashly, sometimes with great intention, and sometimes simply speaking too soon without considering all of the details.

God does not share my proclivity in this regard. When he speaks, he is faithful and true to what he says. My problem is the promises I have not kept. If any of his promises seem unkept, it is because their timing has not yet come. You may wait on me forever to do what I said I would do and end up disappointed. God’s promises endure forever until they are fulfilled, and they most certainly will be fulfilled.

What are God’s promises you anticipate most? What do you want to see him do that he said he would do?

God’s promises are worth the wait. Anticipation makes them all the more glorious. Lean into what he said he would do. The best is yet to be. The best is coming soon.

—

I trust God to fulfill his every promise because he is forever faithful and true.

Our Father, when it is time to wait, we will wait. And when it is time to celebrate, we will celebrate! You are worth waiting on now and forever. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
