We have ample evidence that the Lord is able to guide. The promises cover every imaginable situation. All we need to do is to take the hand he stretches out.
Promise
Adam Clarke
Bring Christ’s Word – Christ’s promise, and Christ’s sacrifice – His blood, with thee, and not one of Heaven’s blessings can be denied thee.
Matthew Henry
An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed; knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money.
Peter Marshall
No one yet has ever set out to test God’s promises fairly, thoroughly, and humbly, and had to report that God’s promises don’t work. On the contrary, given a fair opportunity, God always surprises and overwhelms those who truly seek, with His bounty and His power.
Catherine Marshall
Morbid introspection…. is nonsense. Either God exists — or He does not. If He does, either an individual has a relationship with Him — or that relationship has been severed. Indigestion or arthritis can’t change the bottom fact that ‘God is’ or the unfailingness of a single one of His promises.
Matthew Henry
Cast not away your confidence because God defers his performances. That which does not come in your time, will be hastened in his time, which is always the more convenient season. God will work when he pleases, how he pleases, and by what means he pleases. He is not bound to keep our time, but he will perform his word, honour our faith, and reward them that diligently seek him.
