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 40 Gen. 17:7

Gen. 17:7 - "I will establish my covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you." Abraham didn't ask for or seek for this covenant with God. God, on His own accord reached out to Abraham. The Almighty God, Himself chose to attach Himself to Abraham and his descendants. Often times people think God shows up only if we beg or plead for Him to, that's not the case at all. God chose us, so that He may dwell in us, through Jesus. He chose us so that He can be our God, so that He can watch over us and provide for us. He chose us! PTL!
