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 108 Gen. 49:25-26a

Gen. 49: 25-26a - "From the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you with blessings of heaven above. Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of my ancestors." Jacob is continuing his blessing on Joseph. What he is actually doing is revealing the character of the Almighty to him. The Almighty God desires to pour out His blessings on us. Blessings from on high, blessings that He has made available to us through things on earth and people for whom He puts in our path. Because of His unique love for us individually, His blessings are unique for us as well. His blessings surpass those that we've seen before. We are a new generation who God is giving us greater blessing than what the generations prior have received as we press into Him more. His blessing are given in uniqueness as we see and understand and grasp His heart that is poured out to us.
