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 Gen. 21:17-18

Gen. 21: 17-18 - "God hear the lad crying ; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, 'What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad and hold him by the hand, for I will make a great nation of him.'" God hears the cries of those we cry for. He is a compassionate God. Sometimes we feel we have to beg God to attend to the needs of others, God knows exactly what is going on in their hearts too. The angel told Hagar that God heard him right where he is at. He will meet people right where they are and right where we are. We just need to continue crying out to Him on behalf of those who can not cry out to Him on their own.
