class ReadPromise extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _ReadPromiseState createState() => _ReadPromiseState();
}

class _ReadPromiseState extends State<ReadPromise> {
  Query _ref;
  DatabaseReference reference =
  FirebaseDatabase.instance.reference().child('Daily Verse');
  final DateTime now = DateTime.now();
  final DateFormat formatter = DateFormat("dd MMMM yyyy");


  @override
  void initState() {
    // TODO: implement initState
    super.initState();
    String today = formatter.format(now);

    _ref = FirebaseDatabase.instance
        .reference()
        .child('Daily Verse')
        .orderByChild('date');
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        backgroundColor: Colors.indigo[900],
        title: Text('Daily Promise Archive', textAlign: TextAlign.center,),

        child: FirebaseAnimatedList(
           query: _ref,
          itemBuilder: (BuildContext context, DataSnapshot snapshot,
              Animation<double> animation, int index) {
              Map readVerse = snapshot.value;
              readVerse['key'] = snapshot.key;
               return _buildContactItem(readPromise: readVerse);
              })
    )
    );
  }
          }

  Widget _buildContactItem({readPromise}) {
       return Container(

You're almost there:

_ref = FirebaseDatabase.instance
    .reference()
    .child('Daily Verse')
    .orderByChild('date')
    .equalTo(formatter.format(now));
