Congratulations. Your gift of a new day is here. Ready to live it big. You're listening to the Big Life Devotional podcast. Now, here's Pamela to get you fired up for all God has available for you today. Well, good morning, beautiful. Welcome to a brand new day of life. Happy Monday, my friends. Gosh,

I hope you had a great weekend. And I hope that you're just thankful to get to be alive today.

Life doesn't have to be perfect for us to be grateful, for us to be happy to wake up. So I'm super happy

that you're here. Thank you for inviting me

into your life today. Let's do devotional together. The title of today's episode of the

Big Life Devotional podcast is His Promise or My Plan. Just how good do you have to be to live in the promises of God?

Where's the cutoff line for that?

How good do you have to be?

Do you wonder if you could ever be good enough for God to really love you?

Do you fight to get yourself in that good positioning and then you struggle to stay there?

And when you're not there, when you know you're falling short, do you fear God's promises

over your life being withdrawn?

Well, listen closely, sister, because this one is for you.

God's promises depend on God, not on you. God alone is good enough. God alone fulfills his promises. Jesus has made you forever good enough,

and you don't have the power to undo that. God's promises for you are true, whether you believe them or not.

His promises are at work all around you in every detail, even when you fail to remember

them. You cannot cancel God's promises, but, and it's a big but, you can create unnecessary

problems when you forget God's promises.

In our study of the book of Genesis, we started with Adam and Eve, and then nine

generations later, we have Noah.

Nine generations after Noah, we have Abraham.

That's who we've been studying about the last couple days, Abraham.
