Growing with Galatians Daily Devotion

"Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your offspring,” who is Christ" (Galatians 3:16, ESV).

In baseball, batting average (BA) is one of the most important hitting statistics. Number of hits divided by number of at bats equals BA. 3 hits out of 10 at bats over a career will make you a multimillionaire and likely land you in the hall of fame. Here's a more important stat to calculate: promise-keeping average (PKA). Number of fully kept promises/total promises made equals PKA.

Every promise God has ever made God has fully kept. "For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God" (2 Corinthians 1:20).  God's PKA = 1.0. What's yours?

Let's get our PKA's up. Today, make and keep a few simple promises!
