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

                                                       Remind God of His Promise

                                   You said, "I will surely treat you well."
                                                                                  ~ Genesis 32:12

JESUS SHOWING HIS
DISCIPLES HUMILITY

  "This is a sure way of prevailing with the Lord; humbly remind Him of what He has said. Our faithful God will never take back His word or leave it unfulfilled; yet He loves to be enquired of bu His people and put in mind of His promise. This is refreshing to their memories, reviving to their faith, and renewing to their hope.
  God's Word is given not for His sake, but for ours. His purposes are settled, and He needs nothing to bind Him to His design of doing His people good. But He wishes us to plead it and say to Him, "You said."

THE THIEF COMES TO STEAL, KILL, &
 DESTROY! BUT I COME TO GIVE LIFE

  "I will surely treat you well" is the essence of all the Lord's gracious sayings. He will do us good; real good, lasting good, only good, every good. With this promise in our hearts, we need not fear. If the Lord will do us good, who can do us hurt?"
