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 30 from Numbers 23:5

Numbers 23:5 - "Then the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth and said, 'Return to Balak, and you shall speak thus.'" - I really don't know why, as believers, we fret so much when we are headed toward an interview, a speaking event or a confrontation with someone. If God can put words in a donkey (vs. 22:28), for crying out loud, He can put His words into us. Balaam obeyed God when God told him to "only speak the words I give to you to speak" (vs. 22:35). We can trust God, without a shadow of a doubt to give us the words we need, especially when those words are about blessings and revealing the character of God to others.
