Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: Praying God’s Promises
SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY: Isaiah 40:7-8
Jesus told us that we would endure hardship in this life. But God gave His children amazing tools to keep trials from overwhelming us. For instance, He sent His Spirit to indwell believers, to guide and empower them. In addition, He gave us the privilege of prayer so we could not only stay connected with our Father but also bring Him our requests.
Today let’s focus on His marvelous gift of Scripture. The Word of God Almighty is truth that never changes. The Bible contains thousands of promises—countless assurances we can rely on with complete confidence. God wants us to learn them so we won’t miss out on blessings He desires to give us.
For example, Psalm 32:8 offers this encouragement, which relates to difficult decisions: “I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.” We can pray God’s words back to Him, saying we believe He’ll teach us and reveal His path while remaining by our side as our caregiver through the entire situation.
When hardships arise, we need a sure foundation on which to stand. Remember that God is faithful and unchanging. We can trust in His promises, which enable us to rest confidently and act boldly.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: 1 Samuel 25-26
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: God is faithful and unchanging, so we can trust in His promises, act boldly, and rest confidently.
