Faith's Checkbook (By: C.H. Spurgeon)

                                                            Plead His Own Promise

Therefore, You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.
                                                                                      ~ 2 Samuel 7:29

  "Anything that the Lord God has spoken we should receive as true and plead it at the throne.
  How sweet to quote what our own God has spoken! How precious to use a "therefore," which the promise suggests, as David does in this verse!
  We pray not because we doubt, but because we believe. No, Lord, we cannot doubt You: we are persuaded that every word of Yours is a sure foundation for the boldest expectation. We say to You, "Do as You have said." Bless Your servant's house. Heal our sick; restore those who wander; give us food and raiment according to Your word. Prosper our undertakings; especially succeed our endeavors to make known Your gospel. Let the blessing flow on to future generations; and as long as any of our race remains on earth, may they remain true to You. O Lord "let the house of Your servant be blessed."" (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)

  1. Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
