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 25 Gen. 12:1-3

Gen. 12:1-3 - "Now the Lord said to Abram, "God forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you; and I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing and I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed." God told Abram to "Go" then He said, "And I will...." There will always be great things that happen when God tells us to stop what we're doing and go to where He tells us. When we are obedient to Him, He blesses us. Not only are other people effected by our obedience but, God personally gifts us with His blessings not just by caring for our needs, but by gifting some of our desires too. He doesn't ask us to step out of our comfort zones without reward.
