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 17 from Exodus 4:30-31a

Ex. 4:30-31a. - "And Aaron spoke all the words which the Lord had spoken to Moses. He then performed the signs in the sight of the people. So the people believed." - Usually when we think of the Moses / Pharaoh story we think of Moses as the one who performed all the miracles, but it wasn't just Moses. Aaron spoke the words that Moses had given him, just like God said he would do, and ... remember vs. 16? It says that Moses would be as God to him. Well that happened too... Moses imparted the power of miracles and wonders to Aaron just as God had done to Him, so now, it's Aaron who is performing the miracles in front of all the Israelites elders. Look what happened... they believed and they saw that this was from the Lord so they fell down and worshipped God. This is what God does... He gives to us... we pass it on to others..... and God's kingdom is expanded; He gets the glory!
