Promises: Amazing God

Promises: Amazing God

Thanks for taking the time to join me as we engage in God’s Word together each day. If these devotionals are helpful, be sure to share them with a friend or have them subscribe at ronmoore.org/subscribe. Also, we are excited to resume our podcasts in September. We look forward to sharing many stories of how God works in real life. We have episodes featuring a former major league baseball player and his search for identity, a couple who struggled with a secret sin, two young adults sharing about their father’s lasting legacy, a moving story about a father’s unconditional love, and many more. I’ll let you know when the episodes are released.

Promises: The Show and Tell

Promises: The Show and Tell

When I was in the third grade, each week, we would bring something special to school that we wanted to share with our class. It was usually on a Friday afternoon when Mrs. Steichen would say, “Alright, boys and girls, it’s time for show and tell.” Granted, it was early elementary, so our presentations were not earthshaking, but it was fun to bring a cool gadget and “ooh” and “ahh” over the things that were shared. In our class, Rick always had the most fascinating and awesome items to display. Show and tell…you know, that’s not just a game for children.

Promises: Looking Back to Look Ahead

Promises: Looking Back to Look Ahead

If you want to look ahead, you must look back. I am not talking about living in the past. That’s foolish and fruitless. I am talking about learning from the past in order to embrace the future with confidence. How has God met your needs? How has God worked in the past? How has God delivered when you were up against a wall? In the first part of today’s passage, Asaph recorded his desperate pleas in the night. He was alone and afraid. He felt God had forgotten him. Then he collected his thoughts and focused on God’s past work.

Promises: Presence! Security! Counsel! Eternity!

Promises: Presence! Security! Counsel! Eternity!

Today’s devotional is in memory of Tunch Ilkin. Tunch has been with the Lord for almost two years, and—like many who are reading or listening to this devo—I still miss him dearly. Tunch loved Jesus. He loved his family. And he loved to minister to men. Tunch was one of a kind, and he left a lasting impact.

Promises: Today’s Work. Tomorrow’s Trust.

Promises: Today’s Work. Tomorrow’s Trust.

Reflect on your life. Think about the ways God has worked. Contemplate God’s protection and guidance. Sometimes he has protected you from others; sometimes he protected you from yourself. He is…and always will be…your refuge.

Promises: Worthy of Worship

Promises: Worthy of Worship

Today’s devotional is for those who serve in church ministry. Certainly, serving the Lord in different areas of ministry is a great demonstration of love. You may serve as a teacher for children, teens, or adults. You may cook meals for those going through challenging times or serve food to the homeless. You may be gifted in music or skilled in technology. But please hear this: Service without worship results in spiritual burnout.

Promises: Satisfied

Promises: Satisfied

We have all had the physical experience of being thirsty. Too much sun, a hard workout, a long day can cause us to need a drink of water. Have you ever been spiritually thirsty? Have you ever experienced a parched soul? Check out today’s psalm.

Promises: Finding Rest

Promises: Finding Rest

According to a recent article in Forbes, there are many reasons that you may feel tired all the time. Here is part of their list: Inadequate sleep, medical conditions, stress, depression and anxiety, and lack of physical activities. They also listed caffeine, but I refuse to include it! I need caffeine! Certainly, there are many things that can wear us down, but there is only one place where we can find true rest.

Promises: God is my Refuge

Promises: God is my Refuge

Have you ever felt weak? Inadequate? Not sure you can hold on? That’s how David was feeling when he wrote Psalm 61.

Promises: When We Face Fear

Promises: When We Face Fear

My friend is a daredevil…to say the least. I had never seen him back down from anything. That’s why I was so surprised he wouldn’t climb the pole to the zipline platform. Granted, the platform was high and the climb precarious, but I never expected him to say, “I’m not climbing that pole!” No matter how much we encouraged and cajoled, his feet stayed planted on the ground. Here’s one thing I concluded from my friend’s refusal: Everybody has a “Pole of Fear.” You may be described as a risk taker, but there is something you won’t or can’t do because of your fear.

Promises: God Sustains Us

Promises: God Sustains Us

Today’s promise reminds us that God will sustain us and keep us from being shaken. We can always cast our cares on him.

Promises: Repentance and Forgiveness

Promises: Repentance and Forgiveness

Psalm 51 is David’s prayer for forgiveness after his sin of adultery. In this prayer, we find seven important truths of true repentance. Here is the final step.
