What are the promises of God? Charles Spurgeon highlights one each day for 365 days. He says, “A promise from God is like a check payable to order… We are to take the promise and endorse it with our own name by personally receiving it as true.”

Who is Charles Spurgeon? A Reformed Baptist pastor, Charles Haddon Spurgeon lived 1834-1892 and was called “the Prince of Preachers.” He wrote The Promises of God to comfort our hearts. He says, “God is good. He will not forsake you. He will bear you through. There is a promise prepared for your present emergencies. And if you will believe it and plead it at the mercy seat through Jesus Christ, you will see the hand of the Lord stretched out to help you. Everything else will fail, but his Word never will. He has been so faithful to me in countless instances that I must encourage you to trust him. I should be ungrateful to God and unkind to you if I did not do so.”

Who is Tim Chester? Also a Reformed Baptist pastor, Tim Chester translates his love for the writings of Charles Spurgeon into a journey to communicate Spurgeon’s works for today’s audience.

Written in first person, Spurgeon offers humble insights to his own ponderings of God’s promises. His depth of understanding offers page after page of reassurance that God’s promises will never fail, but will surely come to pass. He reminds us of our blessed inheritance in Christ (Genesis 28:13), of purposeful lives (John 1:50), that we will never be refused (John 6:37), and of God’s presence (Exodus 3:12).

The Promises of God is a classic daily devotional. Spurgeon says, “The more we study the words of grace, the more grace we will receive from the words.”
