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 46 from Deuteronomy 11:24-25

Deut. 11:24-25 - "'Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours; your border will be from the wilderness to Lebanon and from the river, the river Euphrates, as far as the western sea. No man will be able to stand before you; the Lord your God will lay the dread of you and the fear of you on all the land on which you set foot, as He has spoken to you.'"

God makes a promise, through Moses that where ever the Israelites set foot, that is where He will bless them. But He also defines the borders. When God sends us to a place or puts us in a position, we can claim it as ours. God will be our defender and provider. However, if we step out of the boundaries of where God places us, there are no guarantees of blessing. God loves it when we align ourselves with Him, with His plan and His blessings for us. When we step out on our own without seeking Him, when we "change" the plans out of selfish desire or out of fear of the enemy, there is no guarantee the blessings will follow us. This is not a fear warning but a confirmation of His blessings when we keep our eyes on Him and accept all He has for us.
