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 28 from Exodus 11:3

Ex. 11:3- "The Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Furthermore, the man Moses himself was greatly esteemed in the land of Egypt. both in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people." - Moses went from being a very unpopular man in Egypt and among his people to the most esteemed. When God uses the ordinary, unfavoured people on the earth to do His work, those people become extra-ordinary to those around them. When God sets His people apart to build His kingdom and His family, then those people stand apart or stand out from others. People notice or should notice, when God is working through someone. His handiwork is so different from our own. The greatest thing is that no one is exempt from being chosen by God. We all qualify because there is no criteria that we could possibly meet by ourselves. We are random winners, chosen by the king. Why? Simply because He loves us and He is sovereign. Just because He can!
