DO AS THOU HAST SAID

God's promises were never meant to be tossed aside like waste paper, He intended that they be used. God's gold is not miser's money it is minted to be traded with.
Nothing pleases Our Lord better than to see His promises being put into circulation, He loves to see His children bringing them up to Him and saying "Lord do as Thou hast said."
We glorify God when we plead His promises.
Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you the riches He has promised? Do you dream that His holiness will be any the less for sharing it with you? will He be any less pure for washing you from your sins? He has said come now and let us reason together saith The Lord, though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Faith lays hold of the promise of pardon, it goes straight to the throne of grace and pleads "Lord here is the promise, do as Thou has said." He will reply "be it unto thee even as thou wilt."
When the child of God grasps the promise and hastens to the throne of grace with it and cries
"Lord I have nothing to recommend me but this " Thou hast said it" his desire shall be granted.
Our heavenly Banker delights to cash His own notes.
Never let the promise rust. Draw the sword of promise out of its scabbard and use it with holy violence.
Don't think that God will be troubled by your importunity in reminding Him of His promises, He loves to hear the loud outcries of needy souls, it is His delight to bestow favors He is more ready to hear than you are to ask.
The sun is not weary with shining, nor the fountain with flowing. It is God's nature to give,
He will keep His promise. Therefore go at once to Him with this petition "Do as thou hast said."
