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 80 from Exodus 33:12b

Ex. 33:12b. - "Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and have also found favour in My sight'." - I just love this; not only does God know us by name but He finds favour in us. He loves to pour out His favour on His children. Even when we make mistakes, God is still ready to lavish us with His favour. Many people don't step into His favour because they don't recongnise that it is there to accept and to step into. Most Christians don't think they are worthy to receive God's favour because they equate how they feel about themselves with how God feels about them. But the opposite is true; God knows our potential as His children, He sees the treasure in us and favours us because of it. If we only understood who we are as God knows us, we would be able to freely step into His favour.
