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 39 from Exodus 16:6-7

Ex. 16:6-7 - "So Moses and Aaron said to all the sons of Israel, 'At evening you will know that the Lord has brought you out of the land of Egypt; and in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, for He hears your grumblings against the Lord.' and what are we, that you grumble against us?'." I heard a message from a Bethel church, Redding, CA podcast where the preacher said, "Our day actually begins when we go to bed not when we get up." A new day was coming for the Israelites, they didn't have to grumble out of hunger anymore, because God heard their grumblings. The new shift began with the evening, God said that they would KNOW that it was the Lord who brought them out of Egypt. The next verse says, God will begin with providing meat in the evening then manna in the morning. Just as God provided that meat, He brings peace and healing of our minds and hearts from worry and concern in the night time so that we can see the manifestation of that in the morning. This is why it is important that we focus our attention on Him before we go to bed. The people ate meat in the evening and then they KNEW. What are we chewing on before we go to bed?
