I have given men the raw material of their inheritance. In their choices, and in their faithfulness to My way, the enrichment of their whole being by My promises is worked out. There is a promise-creation involved in that close walk with Me.
My child, in looking to Me for life’s needs, the very look establishes promise-fulfilment. The sense of promise in your own heart becomes more sure. You see the future filled with Myself, and you experience the gradual exclusion of all that is not of Me.
My presence shines on all your experiences, and turns them into opportunities for consolidation of your inheritance.
See My promises as far above anything which could be devised by man. See them as an expression of love … an eagerness for you to enjoy what I am preparing for you.
If you are tempted to feel that a promise is merely a self-created hope, immediately gaze once more into the love-light of Him who watches over you. You will then see that I and My promises are indivisible … and your trust and expectancy can then return!
A state of true worship exists in that inter-play of your trust and My love. From yourself, I receive the assurance of your loyalty and continued walk with Me; from Me, you have the priceless sense of a love shown in My promised joy and provision.
You can now see why My servants were unaffected by the conditions of life in which they were placed because of their allegiance to Me. Upholding them was the immovable hope of realising My promises. Their fixed goal ensured their being lifted up into the love-promise sphere, where the hurts of this world are neutralised. You, too, My child, must resolutely tread this way … letting the world’s experiences merely serve to strengthen the relationship with the Promise-Maker.
What you see as you look to Me is a hand outstretched … welcoming you to the realm of promise, reaching to bring you closer into that realm. This, more than all striving or planning, ensures your arrival at your true destination.
The centrality of Myself, and of the promise embodied in Me, will now draw together every potential of your life.
Banking upon the faithfulness of My promises means that in the foreground of your life, all the time, is My influence. A child-like trust in My word represents true spiritual maturity.
My child, promises which you cherish for yourself now make the decisive difference in your spirit-walk through a fallen world.
Your spirit is set free by My promises, and depends for its supply on all that I am, rather than on what the world can give!
