Promise of Promises


For Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. You rule throughout all generations. The LORD always keeps His promises; He is gracious in all He does. Psalm 145:13



Everlasting. We can trust God to keep His promises…forever. Our God is a gracious God. He doesn’t force Himself on us…He is not condescending. Grace…unmerited favor. Think of a time that God was good to you…showing you some undeserved kindness. Maybe it was just a parking place, healing some disease or injury, providing finances at the right time, or giving you some scriptural insight. Whatever it was, can you see that God was in it? Maybe you didn’t see that He was in it when it was happening, but He was working in YOU. Does that help you to trust Him more…to know that He keeps His promises?  

Blooming Promise



Prayer ~ Lord, may we be like the father from whose child You cast out an evil spirit… The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!" Mark 9:24. Let us see You working in our lives. Show us Your promises.

Daily Bible Reading: 1 Kings 9; 2 Chronicles 8


Friday’s Feast at the King’s Table

Getting ready for the hot summer days ahead of us? Brew up some chai tea and make an iced chai latte. Most of us don’t have whole spices sitting around in our cupboards but I’ve included those as an alternative. Either way…enjoy! Refreshing!


Chai Tea Latte

3 c. milk (can be half-n-half, whole, low fat or coconut)

3 c. boiling water

6-8 black tea bags (or 6 tsp loose black tea)

¼ c. honey (or to taste)

1 tsp ground cinnamon (or 1 stick cinnamon)

1 tsp ground cardamom (or 19 cardamom pods)

½ tsp ground nutmeg

½ tsp ground cloves (or 8 whole cloves)

½ tsp grated or mashed fresh ginger (1/4 tsp powdered ginger)

Pour boiling water over tea and spices. Let steep 5-10 minutes. Filter through a fine mesh strainer.

Hot Chai

Warm milk to almost boiling, add to warm tea and serve.

Iced Chai

Cool tea, add milk and serve in a tall glass over ice.  Top it with some whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Refrigerate unused beverage for a couple of days.
