January 14th -- Genesis 24 PROMISE AND PRAYER |
||||||||||||||
A short-sighted view of the matter would have suggested to Isaac (v. 21) that there was no need to entreat the Lord on a matter that had been the subject of promise. But all God's ways work together. There is no clash. He makes a promise; but He wills to be asked for the thing promised, and makes its individual attainment dependent upon our compliance with His will. In this way, the connection that exists in fact between God and His children is kept constantly before their minds, with the double blessedness of yielding God's pleasure and His people peace and joy and benefit. ROBERT ROBERTS, The Ways of Providence, page 36
