    About this ebook

    Building on the popularity of the KINGDOM PROMISES devotional gift book series (more than 60,000 books sold since 2006), God Is and God Will further assure readers of their Maker’s bold power and faithfulness. Each includes approximately fifty two-page readings of encouragement that are easy to retain and share with others. And they go beyond “bite-sized theology” thanks to author Ken Hemphill’s clearly impassioned writing style.   God Will, an entirely new book, traces the promises throughout Scripture that begin with the statement “God will.”

      What Does The Bible Say About Fate / Destiny?

      Jan 1, 2021

      This is a very complex issue, and we will start with what the Bible does not teach. Fate is usually thought of as a predetermined course of events beyond human control. A typical response to a belief in fate is resignation—if we can’t change destiny,

      Excuses. There is never a shortage of them. People throughout history have always been quick to find an excuse. Way back in the Garden of Eden, Adam set the pattern of excuses when he tried to shift the blame to Eve and to God who gave him the woman.

      PREFACE

      Studying God’s Word always brings its own rewards. I have been deeply moved by the study of these simple statements that are scattered throughout the Word of God. It is my prayer that they will minister in your life as they have mine. I thank you for your willingness to buy this book and allow me to be your guide as the Holy Spirit informs your mind and transforms your heart.

      As always, I am indebted to my wife, who is my partner in ministry and my encourager in this ministry of writing. She brings the order and solitude to our home that makes it possible for me to reflect and write. She is often the source of ideas that soon appear in my books. Our devotional times together frequently become theological discussions which enrich my understanding.

      My children are a constant joy to me, and our growing family provides a rich context for writing. Tina and Brett have been blessed with a daughter, Lois, who is as active as her papa. Rachael and Trey have a daughter, Emerson, and a new son, Ward, whose smiles light up a room. Katie and Daniel and their daughter Aubrey are even further blessings from the Lord. My family is the context for my entire ministry.

      I want to thank Morris Chapman, the visionary, former leader of the Southern Baptist Convention for calling our denomination to focus on God’s kingdom. He gave me freedom to write the things God laid on my heart. All of my colleagues at the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention have encouraged me in this phase of ministry.

      As usual, the good folks at Broadman and Holman have been my partners in this ministry. I am challenged by the trust they place in me and inspired by their integrity. I can’t begin to express my gratitude to Lawrence Kimbrough, my partner in this writing adventure. Lawrence is far more than an editor. He is a friend, colleague, and artist. What he does with a rough draft is a thing of beauty.

      This book is somewhat of a new genre. It looks like a daily devotional in its format, but it is written to be bite-sized theology. I have attempted to explain each of these great Kingdom Promises in its original context and then to apply it to life. Thus, I highly recommend that you read this book with your Bible open, because the focal passages will have the greatest impact on you as you see them in context. You might also want to consider using these verses as a Scripture memory project while you’re reading.

      I pray God will use his Word to bring encouragement to your heart. And if this book of Kingdom Promises speaks life to you and ministers to your needs, I hope you’ll pass it along to someone else.

      GOD WILL

      GUIDE YOUR DECISIONS

      Genesis 24:7 The Lord, the God of heaven … He will send His angel before you.

      Have you ever faced a task that seemed impossible? Have you ever sensed God calling you to do something that went beyond your own strength? If so, you might identify with Eliezer, Abraham’s servant, who was tasked with finding a wife for Abraham’s son, Isaac.

      It was the custom in pastoral tribes for the parents to choose a bride for the son, but Abraham’s motive was a far higher one. He did not want his son to marry a Canaanite woman. After all, Isaac was the heir of promise; he could not marry a woman who didn’t know the true God. The bride must come from within the family of God.

      Abraham assigned this task to his loyal servant Eliezer. But Eliezer seemed overwhelmed by the task, and asked, Suppose the woman is unwilling to follow me to this land? Should I have your son go back to the land you came from? (Gen. 24:5). How could Eliezer be sure that the parents of the girl would permit her to leave with a stranger and return to a distant land to marry a man they had never met?

      Good
