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 55 from Deuteronomy: 15:6

Deut. 15:6 - "'For the Lord your God will bless you as He has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow; and you will rule over many nations, but they will not rule over you.'"

I think of the trillions of dollars of debt our country has because of the poor choices that our country's leaders have made and it saddens me. At one time, it was evident to see God's blessings over our country, but those were times when our leaders actually feared God and looked to Him for wisdom. Of course there are still God's blessings that flow throughout our land, but I just wonder how long He will tolerate the continued decisions that are made with no regard for Him. In order to get out of debt as a nation, we will have to depend on others, such as Japan or China. Maybe a  good dose of humility is just what our nation needs. But to what cost? It just seems it would be so much easier to turn to God once again. He will bless us with the answers and bring us out of debt and into honour once again.
