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 87 from Exodus 34:10

Ex. 34:10 - "Then God said, 'Behold, I'm going to make a covenant before all your people I will perform miracles which have not been produced in all the earth nor among any of the nations; and all the people among whom you live will see the working of the Lord, for it is a fearful thing that I am doing to perform with you.'" - The Israelites had already seen many miracles, some fun, like the parting of the Red Sea and others very scary, such as the deaths of all the first borns in Egypt. Yet the Lord is telling Moses that they, who live among him, will see even more great and scary miracles. There are two things that jump out to me about this verse, One; It is those who live in Moses's camp that will see the glorious work of the Lord. Those who stick to the anointed men and women of God, will see what they see. God said that He will perform the miracles "with" Moses, therefore Moses is going to be in the centre of God's movement and those who stick with Moses will be able to "watch the show." If we tell the Lord, "Have Your way with us, no matter what it looks like!" God WILL. But what He does in us will not only impact and transform us, but it will flow though us and out to those around us so that they too will be impacted and transformed. The second is; With God, there is ALWAYS more to come. He will always work in ways unique to Himself and those things are beyond our imagination. If we truly want to have all that He has to offer us, we must press into the more of Him. If we are willing to say, "Have your way with me today" we must not settle just for todays bread but should yearn for and hunger for tomorrows" as well. No matter how different the flavour will be.
