<Yesterday    Tomorrow>

Today God says:
 "Through My promises you are able to partake of the divine nature".

He promises me:
  "Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust". (2 Peter 1:4)

My response to the word:
  God's exceedingly great and precious promises are for me to claim, appropriate, and live by. He blesses me with these promises so that I would become a partaker of His divine nature and I would be able to escape the corruption of the world. God's promises are like promissory notes; they mature over a period of time. I will walk upon the promises of God throughout this day.

My prayer:
  Lord, thank you for your great and precious promises which enable me to partake of your nature. I believe your Word, and I claim its promises for my life this day.

Today's scriptures:
 "Certainly, Christ made God's many promises come true. For that reason, because of our message, people also honour God by saying, 'Amen". (2 Cor. 1:20 GW) "Since we have these promises, dear friends, we need to cleanse ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit and live a holy life in the fear of God". (2 Cor. 7:1 GW) "Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are receiving the promises through faith and patience". (Hebr. 6:12 GW)  

Quote for today:
God never made a promise that was too good to be true. (D L Moody)
