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 60 Gen. 22:14

Gen. 22:14 - "Abraham called the name of that place 'The Lord will provide', as it is said to this day. 'In the mount of the Lord it will be provided.'" There are many people in this world who have mountains that need to be moved. Some are debt mountains, others are mountains of broken relationships, there are mountains of addictions, mountains of terminal illnesses and then there is the mountain of lonliness that just can't seem to go away or to be toppled. There are many more mountains such as these. A promise has been given to us long ago. "in the mount of the Lord it will be provided." When we give our mountains over to Him, so that they no longer "belong" to us, then God has His way with them, He is the provider! No matter what He does with them, whether it be a total removal of the mountain or just a buffing. He will always make them more manageable to climb and to conquer. His is the Provider!
