Today’s Topic: The Promise Keeper
Scripture: “Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.” 2 Samuel 7:16, NIV
Today’s Word
Do you ever wonder how faithful God is to keep His promises to you? In today’s Scripture, God promised David that one of his descendants would always be on the throne of Israel. Over three hundred years later, one of David’s relatives, King Hezekiah, and his throne were in great danger. An overwhelming army had surrounded Jerusalem, and there was no way out. But at the last minute, God sent an angel who destroyed 185,000 enemy troops, and the people were saved.
God explained to Hezekiah why He did it. He said, “David’s been in the grave for three hundred years, but I made that promise to him about his throne. I always keep My promises.” Maybe you’re standing on a promise and it hasn’t come to pass yet. Don’t worry. If God will go to such great lengths to keep His promises to a man who’s dead, how much more will He keep His promise to you. Stay in faith, keep reminding Him what He promised, and keep thanking Him that it’s on the way. You’re about to see God show out in your life.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that You promised You would do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond what I can imagine. Thank You that You have never failed to be true to Your Word and fulfill Your promises. I believe You are about to show out in my life. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
It’s going to take discipline because when you’ve been thinking one way a long time, you’re going to want to go back to the old habits. It’s like driving on autopilot. You don’t have to think about it. You’re used to feeling guilty, inferior, expecting the worst, can’t break the addiction, never get out of debt. Those are learned behaviors. You’re going to have to dig down deep and take control of what you think.
You get to choose what you dwell on. When the same negative thoughts come, you’ll be tempted to get on that highway. “It’s already built. It’s what I’m used to.” No, don’t give those thoughts permission to stay. They will come, but you don’t have to dwell on them. If you dismiss it, the thought dies. It doesn’t have any power. It’s repetitive thoughts that build the highways.
When we’re constantly thinking, “It’s going to be a great day. I’m blessed. I’m strong. I’m healthy. I have the favor of God.” Think of the roads you’re building in your brain. Think about how that’s impacting your future, your self-image, your confidence. Versus, “I’m unworthy. I’ve made too many mistakes. I can’t get a good break. Everyone in my family struggles.” Your thinking is the command center. You are giving orders to your neurons to form how your brain functions, to create the roadways to become what you think.
