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 70 Gen. 28:12-16

Gen. 28:12-16 - "He had a dream and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven..... then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "surely The Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.'" I'm sure Jacob would normally think this dream was a weird one, but it was clear and vivid and God was in it speaking to him and referring to his father and grandfather. He saw that God was revealing Himself to him and confirming the promises that come with the blessing that he had just received from his father. God uses dreams to communicate with us, we need to be tuned into our dreams to see if He might be revealing something special to us. They may seem strange like angels climbing up and down a ladder between heaven and earth, but write them down and then ask God if this is something that you need to pay closer attention to.
