DAILY DEVOTIONAL – DECEMBER 29, 2020 Promises of God for Every Season By David Wilkerson (1931-2011) God is a promise-maker and a promise-keeper and he has spoken to my heart about four things God’s people should trust him for.  These expectations are based on promises God has made to us. 1. Expect to be rewarded as you diligently seek the Lord. “[God] is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6). You can ask in faith for a token for God to encourage and rekindle your confidence. Expect him to keep his promise to reward you now when you are in greatest need. God cannot lie. He said he rewards those who diligently seek him. 2. Expect to see evidence of a progressive miracle in your life. “With God all things are possible” (Mark 10:27). I believe in instantaneous and progressive miracles. Progressive miracles start in unseen, quiet ways and unfold little by little, one small mercy at a time. Expect to see God working in mysterious ways, unseen to the human eye. 3. Expect to enter into God’s promised place of rest. “There remains therefore a rest for the people of God…enter into that rest” (Hebrews 4:9,11). The Lord desires that you believe him to bring you into his promised rest. God never intended that his children live in fear and despair. We need a reckless faith and trust in God in the face of fear, trouble and death itself. 4. Expect the Holy Spirit to be always in his temple. “Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?” (1 Corinthians 6:19). The Holy Spirit abides in the heart of the believer.  He is omnipresent throughout the world.  He desires that you expect him to make his presence manifest to you, and more so each passing day.  He wants to bring you into unshakable faith, just as he did his disciples. Believe these promises!  Lay hold of these expectations and you will see God do marvelous things. Read OnlineDownload PDFForward to a Friend
