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 45 from Exodus 19:4

Ex. 19:4 - "'You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to Myself.'" - I love this picture of our loving Heavenly Father placing us on the wings of Eagles and drawing us to Himself. If you remember, in Ex. 2:23-24 God initiated contact with the Israelites when He heard their cries. They weren't necessarily crying out to God, they were moaning, but God heard their cries and drew them close to Himself. God takes initiative in our lives too. He sees us and hears the cries of our hearts, He sees everything else about us too, and yet He still draws us close to Him. His love is unconditional! Nothing can separate us from that love. Thank you Heavenly Daddy!
