Our messages for a number of weeks has centered on looking at the Book of Psalms as a way of worshipping Jehovah God in song and prayers. Currently, we are in the middle of a mini-series about Psalm 105 looking at how God makes promises to His people and keeps all of them. Hallelujah!
Psalm 105:11 shows God saying to Abraham and his descendants, "To you I will give the land of Canaan." The primary example of God fulfilling this promise is Genesis 15:18 where God says to Abraham, "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates." Jehovah God gave almost the entire Middle East land to his Covenant People. This settled the question of who owns Judea and Samaria! God Keeps His Promises!
In studying the story of the Israelites in Egypt, we find God keeping numerous promises all revolving around Genesis 12:2. God says in this verse, "I will make you into a Great Nation." Here are examples from Psalm 105 of God protecting His People in Egypt in order for them to become a Great Nation:
God Sent Joseph Who Protected Them From The Famine - Verses 17,21
God Increased His People Greatly - Verse 24
God Sent Moses And Aaron - Verse 26
God Brought Them Out With Silver And Gold - Verse 37
There Was None Feeble Among God's People - Verse 37
God Keeps His Promises!
Remember also that Jehovah God Promised in Genesis 12:3, "I will curse those who curse you." Here are examples of this promise being kept by God:
God Told Kings To Not Touch His Anointed - Verses 14,15
God Sent Plagues Among The Egyptians - Verses 28-36
Fear Of The Israelites Fell Among The Egyptians - Verse 38
God Keeps His Promises!
We are devoting a number of messages about God keeping His promises as a word of encouragement during these challenging times. The Word of God shows Him continually making promises . . . AND KEEPING THEM!
May The Lord Bless You And Encourage You This Day,
Frank
