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 80 Gen. 33:10

Gen. 33:10 - "Jacob said, 'No, please, if now I have found favour in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God and you have received me favourably." Jacob expected Esau to treat him unfavourably but the opposite was true, his brother hugged and kissed him in welcome. Esau demonstrated grace and love for his brother. Jacob knew that his brother was acting in this way only because God was working through Esau. God is a gracious, loving God. He also puts those qualities in us. They are in there to be used and to pour out onto others. Others will see God's face as well when we act out of His grace and love. Show someone the face of God today!
