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 90 Gen. 39:9

Gen. 39:9 - "There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has witheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?" Joseph began this sentence talking about Potiphar and how Potiphar has withheld nothing from him but he doesn't end it asking how he could possibly sin against Potiphar but against God. Any wrong we do against man, whether it be to gossip, lie, cheat, curse or have bad thoughts about someone, we are not just sinning against that person but we are more so sinning against God. And the reverse is true as well, when we bless man by our word and deeds we bless God and give Him glory, because it is only through God that we can bless others purely and unselfishly, It's our choice how we treat man, we just need to remember we are treating God in like manner.
