Rest on a Promise

  "The land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants."

~ Genesis 28:13

     "No promise is of private interpretation: it belongs to all believers. If you can in faith lie down upon a promise, and take your rest on it, it is yours. Where Jacob rested, there he took possession. Stretching upon the ground, he little fancied that he was entering into ownership of the land; yet so it was. He saw in his dream that wondrous ladder that unites earth and heaven; and surely where the foot of the ladder stood he must have a right to the soil, for otherwise he could not reach the divine stairway. Every promise is ours if we will but lie down upon it in restful faith.

     Use the Lord's words as your pillows. Lie down and dream only of Him. See the angels coming and going upon Him between your soul and God's; and be sure that the promise is your own God-given portion, as spoken especially to you"

Conquest to Victory

  And the God of peace will bruise Satan under your feet shortly.

~ Romans 16:20

    Jesus bruising

    the head of the

    serpent.

     "This promise follows that of yesterday's. We are to be conformed to our covenant Head not only in His being bruised in His heel, but in His conquest of the Evil One. The archenemy tripped up the feet of the unwary and deceived the hearts of the simple; but he was to get the worst of it and to be trodden down by those whom he had troubled. This victory would not come to the people of God through their own skill or power; but God Himself would bruise Satan. Though it would be under their feet, the bruising would be of the Lord alone.

     Jesus is the Lion, and

     the solider is you!

     Let us bravely tread upon inferior spirits and even the Prince of Darkness himself. In unquestioning confidence in God, let us look for speedy victory. "Shortly!" we shall set our foot on the serpent! What a joy to crush evil! By faith Jesus tread the tempter down" (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions).

The Bible's First Promise

  "I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."

 ~ Genesis 3:15

     "This is the first promise to fallen man. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman was bruised; yet how terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent's head! This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin and vanquished death; but it awaits a still fuller accomplishment at our Lord's Second Advent.

     This promise stands as a prophecy that we shall be afflicted by the powers of evil, and thus bruised in our heel: but we shall triumph in Christ, who sets His foot on the serpent's head. This year we may have to learn the first part of this promise through experience, the temptations of the devil, and the unkindness of the ungodly. They may so bruise us that we may limp; but let us grasp the second part of the text. By faith let us rejoice that we shall still reign in Christ Jesus" (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute devotions).

The Dew of Heaven

His heavens shall also drop dew.

                                                                                     ~Deuteronomy 33:28

  "How greatly do I need the dew of the Spirit! Without the Spirit of God I am a dry and withered thing. How sweetly does this dew refresh me! when once favored with it, I feel happy, lively, vigorous, elevated. I want nothing more. The Holy Spirit brings me life and all that life requires. When He bedews me, every means of grace is sweet and profitable.

  What a promise is this for me! "His heavens shall also drop dew." I shall be visited with grace. May I, at this very hour, feel the gentle, silent, saturating dew of the Lord! He who has made me to live as the grass lives in the meadow will treat me as He treats the grass; He will refresh me from above. Grass cannot call for dew as I do. Surely the Lord who visits the unpraying plant will answer to His pleading child."
