In Search of God's Promises

What is the one thing we do when we feel out of control in a situation? We grasp onto something stable, something we can lean on, something that will hold us up. When the ground is shifting we want something solid to stand on. This is a journey through the Bible in search of God's promises for us today. Let's look together to see how many "boulders" He has in His quarry for us to stand on! "It is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Rom. 9:8

Promise 11 Gen. 3:16

Gen. 3:16 - "To the woman He said, 'I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, in pain you will bring forth children; yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you'." Children are wonderful things, yet often times they are not enough to satisfy the needs of women. I know so many women who are devastated because of a communication breakdown in their marriage or stress in their marriage. Children are nice but the are not as satisfying as a good relationship between husband and wife. God ordained it to be that way. Couples need to make sure their marriage is strong before they have children, then equally raise their children together. But most of all, the marriage should be priority in the household, not the children. If a marriage is strong then the marriage of their children will be strong as well.
