Rest on a Promise
The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it. (Genesis 28:13)
No promise is of private interpretation: it belongs not to one saint but to all believers. If, my brother,
thou canst in faith lie down upon a promise and take thy rest thereon, it is thine. Where Jacob
"lighted" and tarried and rested, there he took possession. Stretching his weary length upon the
ground, with the stones of that place for his pillows, he little fancied that he was thus entering into
ownership of the land; yet so it was. He saw in his dream that wondrous ladder which for all true
believers 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. All the promises of God are "Yea" and
"Amen" in Christ Jesus, and as He is ours, every promise is ours if we will but lie down upon it in
restful faith.
Come, weary one, use thy Lord's words as thy pillows, Lie down in peace. Dream only of Him. Jesus
is thy ladder of light. See the angels coming and going upon Him between thy soul and thy God, and
be sure that the promise is thine own God-given portion and that it will not be robbery for thee to take
it to thyself, as spoken specially to thee.
