50 promises God gives you as step into the digital world today

It’s way too easy to light up your computer or mobile phone each day without even thinking. Sending an email, posting a tweet, or rattling off a digital reply becomes ordinary, kind of like background music.

But that’s where those of us who have agreed to drop our nets and follow Christ need to stop and pause . . . as the world stampedes past.

There’s nothing ordinary about the words that come from our mouths or the thoughts we share online, especially if they are God’s words. My spiritual mentor and uncle, Frank Kenyon, taught me: “no matter how long you’ve been a Christian, you should always tremble when called to speak or teach the Word of God.”

Uncle Frank went to heaven at 90 carrying the Truths of a worn-out bible and a torch of reverence for the Word of God now burns in my heart.

So try this if you would: Before you log on each day this week, pray. Ask God to be the authority over all you say and do online. Ask God for the supernatural to arise in a land of digital banter. Then pause to hear what God might say to you personally. Refresh and reestablish yourself in Truth so that the enemy flees your very arrival online. Then, maybe, just maybe, God’s Word will penetrate even the most surprising of hearts—starting with yours.

50 things God promises you as you step into the digital world today (a very partial list):

  1. He will go with you, sustain you, and strengthen you. (Psalm 89:21, 22)

    R.C. Sproul said, “If there is one random molecule running around the universe, then God is not sovereign.” Thus, God is actively and directly involved in “every byte” of every word we post. Does what we do and say online matter to God? You bet it does (said looking in the mirror).

    I love this list! So many of them speak to me. #38 is one of my favs. Thanks for how you encourage and inspire!  I was looking at the comments and that is a really good idea, to print out this list!

    Hello, thank you so much for sharing this… i copied it out and pasted it in a section of our church program.

    Thank you for this list. It is so soothing for a weary and beaten down soul. I have printed it off to use for prayer and have pasted many of the full scriptures after the reference. You may want to correct #18 – it took me a bit of searching to find that it was 40:31 instead of 40:13. :) Thanks again and blessings.

    wow, talk about cherry picking. what is the context of these promises? Who are these promises about primarily? Me or Christ? And what happens if I don’t have wisdom? or I don’t sleep sweet? or if each day I’m NOT growing stronger? Is that my lack of faith? or is it that I just don’t understand that God will ordain hardship for my own good and for the good of the church and for the purpose He has ordained?

    I used to cherry pick verses out of the Bible too until I learned just how dangerous it is. The women I taught and preached to endedd up damaged emotionally, spiritually, relationally because of poor interpretation of the Scriptures. I would challenge the writer of this to get their head into the Scriptures IN CONTEXT and grab a few systematic helps like a good confession of faith and catechism (an NO they’re not roman catholic but they come out of the Protest/Reformation of the church.)
