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 57 from Exodus 20:26-27

Ex. 20:26-27 - "If you take your neighbor's cloak as a pledge, you are to return it to him before the sunsets, for that is his only covering; it is his cloak for his body. What else shall he sleep in? And it shall come about that when he cries out to Me, I will hear him, for I am gracious." - There are so many unfair things that happen in the this world. So many wrongs done to people, so many victims of horrific crimes, so much injustice. People experience the consequences of wrongs that are done to them for years. No one should have to remain living as a victim once they become one. God, Himself says that He will hear the cries of victims and will be gracious to them. He will not sit there and just listen but He will bring relief to their pain. Justice will be done, peace will be restored. He is a gracious God!
