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 44 Gen. 18:1-2

Gen. 18:1-2 - "Now the Lord appeared to him by the oak of Mamre, while he was sitting at the tent door in the heat of the day. When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth." How did Abraham know that it was the Lord? They didn't present themselves, He didn't ask them, were they glowing with that Glory glow? Scripture doesn't say, but Abraham KNEW it was His Lord, He knew immediately and he jumped up and put his face to the ground before them. God is such a personal God. He doesn't play "peek-a-boo" games with us. He comes to us and meets us right where we are at and reveals Himself in a way where we have no doubt, whatsoever that it is Him. What should our response be? Just like Abraham, we need to take notice, worship Him and celebrate His presence with us. Halleluia, He is alive and longs to spend time with us! Yay Jesus, Yay Father, Yay Holy Spirit!
