Nope, not talking about basketball here... we're talking about promises made by God to a specific individual. A promise made uniquely by God with an intended audience of one.
This is not just a limited few promises we're talking about here either. God made many unique promises to many individuals. Some of these individuals were powerful leaders like David and Solomon and Hezekiah. Some of them were famous patriarchs like Abraham, Moses and Jacob. Some of them, though, were women, foreigners, and "sinners".
It can be natural for us to quickly look at these promises and think, "OK, this is for them, not me," and then move on to something else. While each of these promises was chiefly for the benefit of who God was making the promise to, I believe there is a very cool benefit each of us can receive in considering these promises. God has a unique plan for you. He has a unique way of dealing with you and leading you. In the course of this journey in life, God can make you a promise that is only for you (not for anyone else around you, no matter how powerful or spiritual they are). This One-on-one promise requires that you and I are tuned in to Him who is speaking it, and that we have the faith to believe it.
So what has He spoken to you?
