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 84 from Exodus 33:21

Ex. 33:21 - "Then the Lord said, 'Behold there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock'." - The Lord calls us to His side and there is such a sense of security there. In this specific verse He isn't saying, I will lift you up or I will place you on the rock, but He is saying that I shall stand on the rock, a symbol of strength and security, which is right beside Him, Jesus is seated right beside the Almighty Heavenly Father. God says, come and stand on the Rock. The Rock is Jesus! There is our unfailing strength and security, in Jesus. I just need to heed God's call and come, to step forward to His side and then I need to step up on the Rock. Everything else is left to Him, He provides the strength and He provides the security. Thank you Lord!
