MAKING THE PROMISE TRUE

Psalm 105 speaks of remembering and rejoicing in what the Lord has done.  It speaks of the progress of the children of Israel to the promised land.  He gave the promise to Abraham, Issac and Jacob.  He preserved them in the places where they were.  He sent Joseph before them to prepare a place in Egypt  He developed them into a great number.  He delivered them from slavery.  He brought them to the promised land. 

Can we look at big, broad pictures like this and see comparisons in our own or our families lives?

 -- Giving of promise
 -- Protection from outsiders, adverse situations
 -- Development
 -- Delivery from bondage.
 -- Occupying the promised land

Here a generalized version:

 -- Start of a thing (giving promise to Abraham).
 -- The initial delicate stage (protection in Canaan).
 -- Development of the thing (growth in Egypt).
 -- Moving of the thing toward its purpose (delivery from slavery).
 -- Delivery of the thing into its purpose (bring to promised land).
