2 Corinthians 1:20-22
New Living Translation
20 For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.
21 It is God who enables us, along with you, to stand firm for Christ. He has commissioned us, 22 and he has identified us as his own by placing the Holy Spirit in our hearts as the first installment that guarantees everything he has promised us.
 
 
2 Corinthians 1:20-22
The Message
20-22 Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete.

Psalm 32
New Living Translation
Psalm 32
1 Oh, what joy for those    whose disobedience is forgiven,    whose sin is put out of sight!2 Yes, what joy for those    whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt,[b]    whose lives are lived in complete honesty!3 When I refused to confess my sin,    my body wasted away,    and I groaned all day long.4 Day and night your hand of discipline was heavy on me.    My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Interlude
5 Finally, I confessed all my sins to you    and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, “I will confess my rebellion to the Lord.”    And you forgave me! All my guilt is gone. Interlude
6 Therefore, let all the godly pray to you while there is still time,    that they may not drown in the floodwaters of judgment.7 For you are my hiding place;    you protect me from trouble.    You surround me with songs of victory. Interlude
8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.    I will advise you and watch over you.9 Do not be like a senseless horse or mule    that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
10 Many sorrows come to the wicked,    but unfailing love surrounds those who trust the Lord.11 So rejoice in the Lord and be glad, all you who obey him!    Shout for joy, all you whose hearts are pure!
 
 
 
 
 
Psalm 32
The Message
32 Count yourself lucky, how happy you must be—    you get a fresh start,    your slate’s wiped clean.
2 Count yourself lucky—    God holds nothing against you    and you’re holding nothing back from him.
3 When I kept it all inside,    my bones turned to powder,    my words became daylong groans.
4 The pressure never let up;    all the juices of my life dried up.
5 Then I let it all out;    I said, “I’ll come clean about my failures to God.”
Suddenly the pressure was gone—    my guilt dissolved,    my sin disappeared.
6 These things add up. Every one of us needs to pray;    when all hell breaks loose and the dam bursts    we’ll be on high ground, untouched.
7 God’s my island hideaway,    keeps danger far from the shore,    throws garlands of hosannas around my neck.
8 Let me give you some good advice;    I’m looking you in the eye    and giving it to you straight:
9 “Don’t be ornery like a horse or mule    that needs bit and bridle    to stay on track.”
10 God-defiers are always in trouble;    God-affirmers find themselves loved    every time they turn around.
11 Celebrate God.    Sing together—everyone!    All you honest hearts, raise the roof!

Matthew 24:35
The Message
32-35 “Take a lesson from the fig tree. From the moment you notice its buds form, the merest hint of green, you know summer’s just around the corner. So it is with you: When you see all these things, you’ll know he’s at the door. Don’t take this lightly. I’m not just saying this for some future generation, but for all of you. This age continues until all these things take place. Sky and earth will wear out; my words won’t wear out.

The Message

God’s way of putting people right shows up in the acts of faith, confirming what Scripture has said all along: “The person in right standing before God by trusting him really lives.”

Psalm 18:1-6
New Living Translation
 
 1 I love you, Lord;    you are my strength.2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior;    my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.He is my shield, the power that saves me,    and my place of safety.3 I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise,    and he saved me from my enemies.
4 The ropes of death entangled me;    floods of destruction swept over me.5 The grave[a] wrapped its ropes around me;    death laid a trap in my path.6 But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;    yes, I prayed to my God for help.He heard me from his sanctuary;    my cry to him reached his ears.
 
 
Psalm 18:1-6
The Message
18 1-2 I love you, God—    you make me strong.God is bedrock under my feet,    the castle in which I live,    my rescuing knight.My God—the high crag    where I run for dear life,    hiding behind the boulders,    safe in the granite hideout.
3 I sing to God, the Praise-Lofty,    and find myself safe and saved.
4-5 The hangman’s noose was tight at my throat;    devil waters rushed over me.Hell’s ropes cinched me tight;    death traps barred every exit.
6 A hostile world! I call to God,    I cry to God to help me.From his palace he hears my call;    my cry brings me right into his presence—    a private audience!
 
 
 
 
 

Promise 60: Confess To Him

Listen to music about God's promises after today's episode. Check out Promise Me One Thing's Spotify Playlist here 
 
1 John 1:9
New Living Translation
9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.
 
1 John 1:9-10
The Message
8-10 If we claim that we’re free of sin, we’re only fooling ourselves. A claim like that is errant nonsense. On the other hand, if we admit our sins—simply come clean about them—he won’t let us down; he’ll be true to himself. He’ll forgive our sins and purge us of all wrongdoing. If we claim that we’ve never sinned, we out-and-out contradict God—make a liar out of him. A claim like that only shows off our ignorance of God.

8 The grass withers and the flowers fade,    but the word of our God stands forever.”

The Message
6-8 A voice says, “Shout!”    I said, “What shall I shout?”
“These people are nothing but grass,    their love fragile as wildflowers.The grass withers, the wildflowers fade,    if God so much as puffs on them.    Aren’t these people just so much grass?True, the grass withers and the wildflowers fade,    but our God’s Word stands firm and forever.”
