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 24 from Leviticus 26:6

Lev. 26:6 - "I shall also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down with no one making you tremble. I shall also eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and no sword will pass through your land." - This verse reminds me of the women's shelter where my colleagues took christmas gifts to last night (written Dec.21). There are women who have lived in fear and under abuse from their spouse or spouse's family. With police protection, they were brought to safety. There are many people who live in fear, unfortunately the source of their fear sleeps under the same roof as they do, in their homes. God promises a way out. He is the God who brings peace and who makes the "evil beasts" go away. He says that you will no longer lie down with those who make you tremble. His peace is perfect. Can you put your trust in Him today and in faith watch Him bring peace into your life? He's waiting for you!
