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 73 from Exodus 31:2-3

Ex. 31:2-3 - "See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship." - I just love this! God begins by saying "SEE? Take note, I really want you to get this, 'I have called Bezalel by name!'" The holy God Almighty, creator of heavens and earth, called this man by name. He wants us to get this because He wants us to know that He calls us by name too. He purposely picks us out from among all of the people and creation in the heavens and earth and says, "I'm going to fill you up with My spirit. You will have wisdom and understanding and knowledge and you will be able to do many creative things." We never have to worry about whether or not we can do what God asks us to. The promise is right here, plain as day, He gives us all we need to do what He asks us to do. Thank you Lord!
