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"
