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 88 Gen. 39:3

Gen. 39:3 - Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand." I love this! Joseph's Egyptian master SAW that the Lord was with Joseph. What frame of reference did the master have to know that it was "The Lord" that caused Joseph's success? Joseph must've given God the glory openly each time God gave him wisdom and he saw his tasks and activities prosper. This is how the Egyptian knew it was the Lord, and not just thinking Joseph was a brilliant lad. Here is the promise: When we give God the glory due His name, other's lives will be touched. Eyes will be opened to see the Lord in you. Proclaim His name today?
