Dare to be definite!
"And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee: Deliver me, I pray thee".Gen. 32:9, 11.
There are many healthy symptoms in that prayer.
In some respects it may serve as a mould into which our own spirits may pour themselves, when melted in the fiery furnace of sorrow.
He began by quoting God's promise:
"Thou saidst." He did so twice Vs.9,12.
God puts Himself within our reach in His promises!
And when we can say to Him, "Thou saidst," He cannot say no.
He must do as He has said.
If Herod was so particular for his oath's sake, what will not our God be?
Be sure in prayer.
- to get your feet well on a promise.
Jesus desires that we shall be definite in our requests.
And that we shall ask for some special thing.
"What will ye that I shall do unto you?"-
- is the question that He asks of every one who in affliction and trial comes to Him.
Make your requests with definite earnestness if you would have definite answers.
Aimlessness in prayer accounts for so many seemingly unanswered prayers.
Be definite in your petition.
Fill out your check for something definite, and it will be cashed at the bank of Heaven when presented in Jesus' Name.
Dare to be definite with God!
Bring Christ's Word--Christ' s promise, and Christ's sacrifice--His blood, with you!
And not one of Heaven's blessings can be denied you!!
