Daniel 2:​ 28
 

Nicholas Byfield, seventeenth-century English preacher and

 Puritan, opened his book on promises of God by making two

 points: “First​: that though we have gotten the assurance of 

​ God’s favor and freedom from the power and guilt of our sins, 

yet many things will still ail us…. 

Second​: there can be no such discouragement, difficulty,

 or affliction, but in the Word of God we may have a sure 

consolation or direction for it, which is able in every way 

to abundantly sustain us.”

When heroes of the faith like Daniel were in trouble,

 they would cling to the promises of God. Daniel knew

 there​ was a God in heaven who reveals secrets to His 

children through the promises He has given. 

Even today we can count on all the promises 

of God to come true. We can have faith He will

 keep His Word. 

Take time today to find and read a promise in Scripture

 that applies to your situation. Claim that promise by faith 

and thank God for His goodness in fulfilling it.

​"The promises of God will drive away grief, discouragement,

 or fears, that at any time may seize on us. They will sweeten 

all our afflictions. They will exceedingly build up...our faith.​"
