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 45 from Deuteronomy 11:22-23

Deut. 11:22-23 - "'For if you are careful to keep all this commandment which I am commanding you to do, to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and hold fast to Him, then the Lord will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and mightier than you.'"

There is power in community. Moses is speaking to the people of Israel as a community; If that community is united as one, having the same mind and heart in loving God and serving Him out of that love, then God will drive out the communities who don't. If the followers of Jesus truly stood united, and with boldness, loved God and walked in all His ways in their homes and business' and sports fields and beaches and... then the land can't help but be transformed. The others who don't love God wouldn't be able to stand against it and will either move, or join in. God will bless the communities of faith who love Him.
