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 83 Gen. 35:11

Gen. 35:11 - "God also said to him, I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall come from you, and kings shall come forth from you." God states to Jacob, now Israel, who He is; He says, "I am God Almighty" meaning, there is "no one or nothing greater than Me, nothing too powerful, no army stronger, no situation too complicated, I can make things happen." So when He tells Israel to go, be fruitful and multiply He isn't telling him to do it in his own strength. God is telling Jacob what He is going to do in him and through him. Because He is God - who makes things happen. What do you want multiplied in your life today? He is God Almighty, trust Him with your request and desire and even more radical, trust Him with your life and see what He multiplies in it that is beyond what you can ever hope or imagine.
