God Does It All

There are certain things in life that we simply have no control over. When a young man asks a girl to marry him he does not control her answer. He may do many things but none of them guarantee that she will say yes. Doctor's operate of someone without a 100% guarantee that everything will come out well. Many times it often does but never 100% of the time.

With God everything is guaranteed because He promised without any involvement on our part to insure the promise is kept.

Gen 17:6-8 6 "I (GOD) will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you. 7 "I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. 8 " I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God." NASU

All that is promised here was kept, not because of some actions on Abram part but because of God's promise.

Eph 2:8-9 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast. NASU

Acts 16:31 They said, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household." NASU

Do you believe? These promises are there for those who believe, why not take them today.
