God is in complete control of all things. His sovereignty is not delegated or shared. He is intimately involved in the day-to-day affairs of my life. My days are in his hands.

Promises: Strength and Shield
Ever feel like you don’t measure up? Ever feel like life’s assignment is way beyond your skill level? Convinced that you don’t have what it takes? You are not alone. The line of inadequacy stretches around the block, but you don’t have to stand stuck in the long line. Today’s passage tells us where to find real strength.
Promises: Wait for the Lord
The fear of uncertainty causes us to run . . . fast. We run to places we think will bring comfort. We run to where the pain can be dulled, at least for a while. These are unhealthy destinations that deliver short-lived satisfaction and false hope. God has a different remedy for uncertainty. He tells us to stay put and wait for his confidence.
Promises: Never Have to be Afraid
Thanks for taking the time to read these devotionals. At The Journey, we aim to help you engage in God’s Word. As we continue to consider Promises in the Psalms, we learn today that when we walk with Jesus, we never have to be afraid.
Promises: Friendship with God
The great promises of God are found throughout Scripture from the Old Testament to the New. And…so many of the promises are found in the beautiful poetry of the psalms. Today’s psalm promises that we are friends with God.

Promises: Rise Up! Stand Firm!
Some people like to trust in the tangible things they can see and touch, such as a strong showing of the Dow, a large well-equipped military, a secure retirement, and their political party running the government. This psalm reminds us that the world puts its hope in well-built, fortified chariots pulled by strong, speedy horses. Unfortunately, confidence in the things of the world will always end in failure. But trusting in our God allows us to “rise up and stand firm.”
Promises: Clean and Clear
Let’s face it. We are most troubled when we act in disobedience. When we’ve decided that our way is best, chaos reigns, and anxiety is amplified! On any road trip away from God, our personal fear rides shotgun. But the fear of the Lord is different. The fear of the Lord is clean and clear, like a mountain spring flowing from a life that demonstrates refreshing obedience. The unpolluted life follows God’s Word.
There is no getting around it. Storms will come, and sometimes they are unleashed in our lives. Personal storms come through unmet expectations and unfulfilled dreams. Sometimes clouds of darkness from illness and grief build in our hearts: disappointment, discouragement, disillusionment, and depression rain in our souls. But amid the storm—God is our stronghold!
Promises: My Rock. My Refuge. My Stronghold
We are focusing on God’s promises reiterated throughout the psalms. These promises are found on every page of Israel’s worship guide and remind us of God’s presence and power in our lives. Today’s passage delivers the promise that God is our rock, refuge, and stronghold.

Promises: Never Shaken
Do you ever have nights when you can’t go to sleep? You toss and turn—your mind races. Then fear shows up. For those of you going through illness, nights can be the worst time. While others sleep, nights are lonely hours that invite your mind to entertain all the “what ifs,” and those “what ifs” never bring comfort.

Promises: The Lord is a Stronghold
This past week the clouds gathered, and the sky darkened, interrupted by periodic flashes of lightning. A storm was on its way, and in a matter of minutes, it unleashed rain, hail, wind, cracks of thunder, and flashes of lightning.

Promises: On His Mind
The Creator has you on his mind. What an amazing truth! In today’s psalm, we see that God is magnificent and filled with splendor. He is exalted above all creation. And he has you on his mind. That’s a great promise.
