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 109 Gen. 50:1-20

Gen. 50:19-20 - "But Joseph said to them, 'Do not be afraid, for am I in God's place? As for you, you meant it for good in order to bring this present result, to preserve many people alive." Joseph's brothers were living in the fear of an orphan, where Joseph was living in the security of His Heavenly Father as a son. When we live in the midst of the Father with a kingdom mentality, we live out of its peace. God gives us the ability to see a larger picture of what He is doing even in the most difficult situations. We can know that God wants the very best for us and even though it seems like He has turned His care away from our situation, we can be assured that He would never do that. He will bring peace and comfort after the pain.
