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 69 from Exodus 28:3

Ex. 28:3 - "You shall speak to all the skillful persons whom I have endowed with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister as priest to Me." - We can learn from books, from watching others or sitting in lectures, but it is God who fills us with a spirit of wisdom. The most intelligent man can be unwise and make poor choices. Maybe when it comes to choosing our leaders both at local levels and nationally, we should direct our interviews with them to ask who and where they have exercised wisdom with instead of how many diplomas they have, which schools they've attended or how many posts they've held. May the Lord pour out His Spirit of wisdom on our countries' leaders and into us!
