“Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.” — Psalm 119:49
Whatever your especial need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it. Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise — ”He giveth power to the faint.” When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask Him to fulfil His own word. Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with Him? This promise shines like a star upon you — ”Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.” Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this — ”Lord, Thou hast said it, do as Thou hast said.” Are you distressed because of…
sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listento these words — ”I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions,and will no more remember thy sins.” You have no merit of your own toplead why He should pardon you, but plead His written engagements andHe will perform them. Are you afraid lest you should not be able to holdon to the end, lest, after having thought yourself a child of God, youshould prove a castaway? If that is your state, take this word of grace tothe throne and plead it: “The mountains may depart, and the hills may beremoved, but the covenant of My love shall not depart from thee.” If youhave lost the sweet sense of the Saviour’s presence, and are seeking Himwith a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: “Return unto Me, and Iwill return unto you;” “For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but withgreat mercies will I gather thee.” Banquet your faith upon God’s ownword, and whatever your fears or wants, repair to the Bank of Faith withyour Father’s note of hand, saying, “Remember the word unto Thyservant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.”
