The Power Of Knowing God's Promises

 

Today's verse is Exodus 32:13

Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 

    The Children of Israel have sinned, and their sin was great, and God was shewing Moses that he was willing to unleash his wrath; to what did Moses resort to appease the Lord? Even the promise that God had made unto Abraham, to Issac, and to Israel! It was not the worthiness of the people, but the promise that God had made, that stayed his hand. Just as the children of Israel were not worthy, so also us, but even as God was appeased by his promise to Abraham, so also can we approach him though the promises God has made to us through his Son, and by his Son, we can come to him, for through him and him alone can his anger be assuaged. Do you know any of his promises? Amen.

To God be the Glory
