Fixing Your Eyes on the Promises
Hebrews 11:22
Do you think God would ever forget a promise? Of course not! God always keeps His promises.
Instead, He commended Joseph for his faith because he gave directions about how his bones were to be handled?
He believed that because he believed God would bring Israel back to the promised land…because that’s what God had promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their descendants.
Now, granted…that’s not exactly the kind of promises we want to hear, but God is being honest with us–Christianity isn’t always going to be an easy ride.
Jesus promised much the same thing in Matthew 11:28-29, “Come to me, all you who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.”
But in a world where people are measured by their beauty, their influence, and their wealth and power, a lot of people get…LEFT OUT.
We must always remember—we are not better than the others in the world around us. We are simply those who have accepted better promises than the world can offer.
