Promise Me One Thing
God made thousands of promises in the Bible. They are for you and me to hold on to and live by through the good times and the bad times. If you are anything like me, you need to be reminded of them daily, and you might not know where to find them in a moment of need. Join host Maggie John every day for just a few moments as we soak in God’s promises—be reminded of who you are.

There has never been the slightest doubt in my mind that the God who started this great work in you would keep at it and bring it to a flourishing finish on the very day Christ Jesus appears.
