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 35 Gen. 15:15

Gen. 15:15 - "As for you (Abram), you shall go to your fathers in peace; you will be buried at a good ole age." I'm sure that was quite re-assuring for Abram that he would have a long life and that it would end in peace. Now, I know this was a promise specifically for Abram straight from God, but there is a promise here that we can stand on too. The promise is that we can end in peace. We can go to our "Father" in peace. I've heard many parents say that they don't fear death for themselves but they fear it for their children, knowing that their death will cause pain for their children and those they leave behind. The Lord is saying here, "No worries, no need to fret, I've got it all sorted, just come to Me." We can have peace in our present and future and even in our death because God has it all covered.
