What has God promised us freely in His Word? And what promises does it contain that are specific to their time and place, and cannot be taken out of context and scattered around like confetti? In this thoughtful and challenging introduction to the promises of God, Jeff Lucas looks at what Scripture does say, what it does not say, and what we need to do about it. The "promise boxes" of old seemed close to trying to do magic—but that shouldn't put us off realizing the wealth of principles in God's Word that applies to our lives, here and now. So read and be encouraged. Bible Daily notes are written by Jeff Lucas to help you apply the lessons of God's Word daily. Each day and with each devotion, Jeff uses his signature wit and wisdom to reveal insights and practical application you can use in your own life. Each Bible devotion takes only a few minutes to read, but the lessons learned can last a lifetime.
