Remind God of His Promise

"And Thou saidst, I will surely do thee good" (Genesis 32:12).

This is the sure way of prevailing with the LORD in prayer. We may humbly
remind Him of what He has said. Our faithful God will never run back from His
word, nor will He leave it unfulfilled; yet He loves to be enquired of by 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 gives the promise for
our strengthening and comfort. Hence He wishes us to plead it and say to Him,
"Thou saidst."

"I will surely do thee good" is just the essence of all the LORD's gracious
sayings, Lay a special stress on the word surely. He will do us good, real
good, tasting good, only good, every good. He will make us good, and this is to
do us good in the very highest degree. He will treat us as He does his saints
while we are here, and that is good. He will soon take us to be with Jesus and
all His chosen, and that is supremely good. With this promise in our hearts we
need not fear angry Esau or anyone else. If the LORD will do us good, who can
do us hurt?

Affection set above. Col. 3. 2; 1 Cor. 6. 20

1 Come, raise your thankful voice,
Ye souls redeemed with blood;
Leave earth and all its toys,
And mix no more with mud.
Dearly we're bought, highly esteemed; Redeemed, with Jesus' blood redeemed.

2 Christians are priests and kings, All born of heavenly birth;
Then think on nobler things,
And grovel not on earth.
Dearly we're bought, highly esteemed; Redeemed, with Jesus' blood redeemed.

3 With heart, and soul, and mind,
Exalt redeeming love;
Leave worldly cares behind,
And set your minds above.
Dearly we're bought, highly esteemed; Redeemed, with Jesus' blood redeemed.

4 Lift up your ravished eyes,
And view the glory given;
All lower things despise,
Ye citizens of heaven.
Dearly we're bought, highly esteemed; Redeemed, with Jesus' blood redeemed.

5 Be to this world as dead,
Alive to that to come;
Our life in Christ is hid,
Who soon shall call us home.
Dearly we're bought, highly esteemed; Redeemed, with Jesus' blood redeemed.
