No promise is of private interpretation. Whatever God has said to any one saint, he has said to all. When he opens a well for one, it's that all may drink. When he opens a granary-door to give out food, there may be some one starving man who's the occasion of its being opened, but all hungry believers may come and feed too.
Whether he gave the word to Abraham or to Moses, matters not, O believer; he has given it to you as one of the covenanted seed. There isn't a high blessing too lofty for you, nor a wide mercy too extensive for you. Lift up now yours eyes to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west, for all this is yours. Climb to Pisgah's top, and view the utmost limit of the divine promise, for the land is all yours own.
There isn't a brook of living water of which you may not drink. If the land flows with milk and honey, eat the honey and drink the milk, for both are yours. Be you bold to believe, for he has said, "I'll never leave you, nor forsake you."In this promise, God gives to his people everything. "I'll never leave you." Then no attribute of God can cease to be engaged for us.
Is he mighty? He'll show himself strong on the behalf of them that trust him. Is he love? Then with lovingkindness will he have mercy upon us. Whatever attributes may compose the character of Deity, every one of them to its fullest extent shall be engaged on our side. To put everything in one, there's nothing you can want, there's nothing you can ask for, there's nothing you can need in time or in eternity, there's nothing living, nothing dying, there's nothing in this world, nothing in the next world, there's nothing now, nothing at the resurrection-morning, nothing in heaven which isn't contained in this text—"I'll never leave you, nor forsake you."
Closing Prayer
Lord, as this day begins, help us trust You fully, even when the path isn't clear. In Jesus' name, Amen.
