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 18 from Leviticus 23:10

Lev. 23:10 - "'Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.'" - I love the fact that God didn't say, "IF you reap its harvest" but He said, "When you do." Whenever God sends us to a place, He prepares the way by making sure we are placed where the soil is fertile and there will be a harvest to reap. I'm sure there are many places in this world where the ground seems dry, hard, malnourished and hopeless. Yet, God doesn't send us to a "promised land" without a promise. His promise according to this verse is "You WILL reap the harvest" and have 1st fruits to offer Him!
