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 20 from Deuteronomy 7:13

Deut. 7:13 - "'He will love you and bless you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your herd and the young of your flock in the land which He swore to your forefathers to give you.'"

This is the promise of God to His people, Israel. All of this had one condition; that they remain faithful in keeping the law. God is revealing to us His heart's desire for His people. He wants to see us multiply, He wants to see us successful in our work, He wants to see all whom we care for thrive, be healthy and prosperous. That is His desire for those He loves. He promises His love and blessings to be poured out on His people. This is His character and desire for His loved ones. All He asks from us is faithfulness to Him.
