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 22 from Exodus 6:13

Ex. 6:13 - "Then the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt." - As Moses asked God 'How do you expect the Pharaoh to listen to me when my own people don't" and again tried to get out of the job by saying that he doesn't speak very well, God had a sit down with Moses and Aaron once again [He is just so patient]. This time He gave them 'charge' over the Israelites and Pharaoh. Spiritually, He took them out of the mire of their orphany insecurities, and focus on themselves, and placed them on spiritual thrones as kings, for which Israel and the Pharaoh are under them. He put them in authority and gave them the right and honor to carry out God's plan. That is what God does for us too, He gives us the spiritual authority over those for whom He calls us out to seek. There is no fear in this position because we are equipped by God and commissioned by Him, we can not fail. So that is the promise!
