Epigraph
God’s promises are like the stars; the darker the night the brighter they shine.
David Nicholas
Introduction
The great and glorious promises of God — they are our security in a world of uncertainty and turmoil. They are life vests, intended to protect us as we navigate stormy seas. They are God’s gifts given corporately to all of his children — but personally to each one of us.
We’ve compiled this book, Daily Promises for Women of Color, so that you can more easily take hold of God’s promises for your life. We pray that as you read, you will begin to understand how vast his promises really are, covering virtually every area of daily life. Then, it’s our hope that you will appropriate them as God intended, whether your skies are sunny or gray, in good times and bad. God’s promises are sufficient to cover any need you might have.
So, read them, believe them, rely on them, and treasure them. Most of all, thank God for them. Though freely given, they have been bought with a great price — the holy, righteous blood of God’s precious son, Jesus.

We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

for I have put my hope in your word.
Psalm 119:73–74
Week 2: Monday
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the LORD,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
Psalm 1:1–3
For seven days celebrate the festival to the LORD your God at the place the LORD will choose. For the LORD your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.

Week 2: Tuesday
All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:
You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.
Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.
You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.
Deuteronomy 28:2–6, 8, 11–13
Week 2: Wednesday
