The Faithful Promiser.
It has often been felt a delightful exercise by the child of God, to
take, night by night, an individual promise and plead it at the
mercy-seat. Often are our prayers _pointless_, from not following, in
this respect, the example of the sweet Psalmist of Israel, the Royal
Promise pleader, who delighted to direct his finger to some particular
"word" of the Faithful Promiser, saying, "Remember Thy word unto Thy
servant, on which thou hast caused me to hope!"
The following are a few gleanings from the Promise Treasury,--a few
crumbs from "the Master's Table," which may serve to help the thoughts
in the hour of closet meditation, or the season of sorrow.
