All the promises are to believers who have faith enough to embrace them, and plead them at the throne of grace. ALL THE PROMISES ARE TO BELIEVERS WHO HAVE FAITH ENOUGH TO EMBRACE THEM AND PLEAD THEM AT THE THRONE OF GRACE
ur God shall call/* What a com- fort is this ! Let us take up our common-rights, and possess by faith what the Lord has made ours by a covenant of salt. Words spoken to Jacob belong equally to all believers. Hosea says of him, "Yea he had power over the angels, and prevailed : he wept, and made supplication unto him : he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us*' So that Jehovah spake with us when he spake with the patriarch. The wonders which God displayed at the Red Sea were wrought for all his people, for we read ^Hhere did we rejoice in him,** (See Psalm Ixvi. 6.) It is true we were not there, and yet the joy of Israel's victory is ours. The apostle quotes the word of the Lord to Joshua as if it were spoken to any and every child of God, — "He hath said, I will never leave thec^ nor forsake thee ** (Heb. xiii. 5), the fact being that no word of the Lord ends with the occasion which called it forth, or spends itself in blessing the individual to whom it was first ad- dressed. AR OFF EVEN AS MANY AS THE LORD OUR GODS SHALL CALL WHAT A COMFORT IS THIS LET US TAKE UP OUR COMMON RIGHTS AND POSSESS BY FAITH WHAT THE LORD HAS MADE OURS BY A COVENANT OF SALT WORDS SPOKEN TO JACOB BELONG EQUALLY TO ALL BELIEVERS HOSEA SAYS OF HIM YEA HE HAD POWER OVER THE ANGEL AND PREVAILED HE WEPT AND MADE SUPPLICATION UNTO HIM HE FOUND HIM IN BETHEL AND THERE HE SPAKE WITH US SO THAT JEHOVAH SPAKE WITH US WHEN HE SPAKE WITH THE PATRIARCH THE WONDERS WHICH GOD DISPLAYED AT THE RED SEA WERE WROUGHT FOR ALL HIS PEOPLE FOR WE READ THERE DID WE REJOICE IN HIM SEE PSALM SIXTY SIX SIX IT IS TRUE WE WERE NOT THERE AND YET THE JOY OF ISRAEL'S VICTORY IS OURS THE APOSTLE QUOTES THE WORD OF THE LORD TO JOSHUA AS IF IT WERE SPOKEN TO ANY AND EVERY CHILD OF GOD HE HATH SAID I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE NOR FORSAKE THEE HEBREWS THIRTEEN FIVE THE FACT BEING THAT NO WORD OF THE LORD ENDS WITH THE OCCASION WHICH CALLED IT FORTH OR SPINS ITSELF IN BLESSING THE INDIVIDUAL TO WHOM IT WAS FIRST ADDRESSED
