God Generously Gives
God Gives Relief
God Gives Encouragement
Those who have purposed in their heart to do the will of God may confidently expect the help of God.
His promise, “Lo, I am with you,” may be claimed by every one who fights against all evil principles and habits, which hinder souls from the enjoyment of the gift of God’s grace.
God Gives the Tools Needed
“Going up all night” meant some personal sacrifice, but great victories in the Name of God are very seldom won without this.
When Joshua said to the Lord in the sight of Israel, “Sun, stand thou still upon Gideon,” it was not only an unprecedented, but, we would have thought, an unimaginable, venture of faith. At that moment he seemed to feel the presence of the Almighty so near and real that “all things were possible to him that believeth.” There and then he asked a “great thing, and got it.” It was not demanded for his own sake, but for the fulfilment of that commission given him by God.
All POWER in Heaven and on earth is still at the disposal of those consecrated to His service (Matt. 28:18–19). If need be, it was as easy for God to stop the whole Solar system and start it again without the slightest dislocation of any part, as it is for a railway driver to stop his engine. It is of the nature of faith to expect miracles, and when it is definitely exercised it is not disappointed. The Lord still “hearkens unto the voice of a man,” and does memorable things for him (v. 14).
