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 25 from Exodus 7:10

Ex. 7:10 - "So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and they did just as the Lord had commanded and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent." - God gave Moses and Aaron instruction, they did what He said, and what God said would happen, took place. It takes a lot of faith to step out and do what God tells us to do; believing that what He said will happen, will. Too often I find myself questioning, "But what IF it DOESN'T happen as You say?" I know it sounds absurd to question God, but we do it over and over again. We let fear ignite doubt, which then leads to disobedience to what God asks us to do. God will bring the results He says He will bring, but He wont necessarily do that without our partnering with Him. If He chooses us to work with Him, He wants us to carry out the mission, not some substitute. He wants to build in us His Spirit and His character. He wants to reveal Himself through us to others. Because of this, He wont lead us astray by giving us a mission that will not turn out just as He says it will. Thank you Lord!
