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 81 from Exodus 33:14

Ex. 33:14 - "And He said, 'My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest'." - Moses is pressing into the Lord and is longing to know God more and to have His favour. I think He was wanting to hear God tell him all His secrets and say "yes, Moses you have my favour." but God simply says, I'll be with you and give you rest." We learn the ways of the Lord, not from stressful striving, begging and pleading, but when we watch what He does from our place of rest. For those who are in Christ Jesus, He resides in us already so we already have His favour in His presence. Out of rest we can trust Him to show us more about Himself. His presence and rest are all we need to know Him more.
