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 88 from Exodus 34:14

Exodus 34:14 - "For you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is 'Jealous', is a jealous God." - There are so many things that God can be jealous for in this world. If you see photos of the universe, He could be more jealous for that than us, or the beauty of the mountains, deserts, lakes, oceans and streams that He created, but no, He chooses to be jealous for US. He longs that we devote our attention and purposes to Him and for Him, because of His incredible love for us. The God of the Universe is jealous for those who follow Jesus. Now that is extravagant love!
