God's Promises for Today

God's promises are still living and active. Every day that we live, God's promises are available to us.
The Message version of Hebrews 4v7 says:
God keeps renewing the promise and setting the date as today

Make "today" count
Lets not dwell in the past but live in the "here and now" for each day that God gives us...
Philippians 3v12-14
But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

For each day that God gives us lets make the most of every opportunity (see Colossians 4v5), whether that's working, serving, giving, witnessing, praying, whatever....

Equipped for every good work
For each task that God has prepared for us, he will equip us. But to get equipped we need to get into God's word...

2 Timothy 3v16-17
All Scripture is Godbreathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

What God has opened, no one may close

Revelation 3:8 (New International Version)

I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.


I always find this verse provides me with strength and comfort. If God has told you something, if He's given you something to do, then don't give up! Once you have tested whatever it is God has told you to do, or said about your life, then go for it!

It might be that people think you're crazy, or it could just be that no-one is catching the same vision that you have, either way, keep pressing deeper into God and don't give up on what He has given you.

That verse tells us that if God has said something about your life, or has given you something to do, then no-one can get in the way of that, keep on with it.

Still, make sure that you go through the door. God doesn't always place before us an open door that will seem immediately attractive to us, but the fact is, He's opened a door. Just obey God! Take what He's given you and run with it.

Always know that God has a plan and purpose for your life. In Him there is an amazing hope and a future.
