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 4 from Leviticus 7:34

Lev. 7:34 - "For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their due forever, from the sons of Israel." - For all those meat lovers out there, this verse should be encouraging. God set aside just for Aaron and family both white and dark meat. The breast and thigh of the sacrifice for the wave offering. Actually I'm not sure that it is really classified as white or dark meat because they would be from an ox or calf, however they are the choicest of meats, God has reserved for those who minister to Him. His promise to us is that He rewards His children, His servants, not with morsels but of the good stuff, the best parts of what is given. God is a rewarder to those who serve Him. He is a God of abundance, He doesn't hold back the very best from those who He anoints.
