God's Precious Promises

By Mrs. J. E. Green

MRS. J. E. GREEN

We wonder and rejoice at God's great goodness and care for his people. He never gets weary of their prayers nor impatient with their importunities. He ever bends low a listening ear when out of the depths of their contrition or sorrow they cry unto him for the pardon of all their sins or for relief from their woes. He has made many precious promises for their comfort and encouragement, and these, though recorded years ago, reach down to the last generation. Such a promise we find in Deut. 4: 30: “When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; (for the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.”

This precious promise was made and recorded not alone for the benefit of the people of God whom Moses was addressing, but even for those in the “latter days;” that is, for us who are now living and looking for the Captain of our salvation to come and conduct us to the mansions which he is preparing.

“When thou art in tribulation,” Those who will turn unto the Lord with, all their heart will find that he will turn, unto them and succor them. Even those who have forsaken him and worshiped, other gods, will be forgiven, if they repent; for the Lord says that if they will, fully confess their sins, he will be faithful to, forgive. “Whosoever will, may come.” “Him that cometh to me I will in no, wise cast out.”
