經文: 「照您所說的而行。」(撒母耳記下七：25)

上帝的應許，就是讓你去支取、應用，不是將之束之高閣，或棄如敝履。上帝樂見祂的兒女，帶著應許來到祂跟前說：「照您所說的而行。」我們向祂懇求祂的應許成就，就是榮耀祂的名。難道上帝是這樣的貧窮、吝嗇，捨不得將祂的福份、好處賜給你？不會的，祂說：「你們來！我們彼此辦論，你們的罪雖像硃紅，必變成雪白，雖紅如丹顏，必白如羊毛。」（賽一：18）
<BR> 那帶著信心來到寶座前的，必得賞賜，我們儘管指著應許向上帝求：「主啊，這是您的承諾，求您照您的話而行。」我們的主會說：「天上的銀行樂意兌現天父所開的一切支票，千萬別讓它們廢置�掉。別以為上帝因為你不斷的提醒而嫌煩，不，上帝總是樂於施恩，祂只愁你求得不夠深入、懇切！瞧，陽光總是不斷照耀，泉水也是不斷湧出。」上帝也是信實的，祂必說話算話，絕不失信。所以，趕快來到祂的寶座前，求告祂：「主啊，照您所的而行！」

Scripture: "Do as thou hast said."(2 Samuel 7:25)

God's promises were never meant to be thrown aside as waste paper; he intended that they should be used. God's gold is not miser's money, but is minted to be traded with. Nothing pleases our Lord better than to see his promises put in circulation; he loves to see his children bring them up to him, and say, "Lord, do as thou hast said." We glorify God when we plead his promises. Do you think that God will be any the poorer for giving you the riches he has promised? Do you dream that he will be any the less holy for giving holiness to you? Do you imagine he will be any the less pure for washing you from your sins? He has said "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." Faith lays hold upon the promise of pardon, and it does not delay, saying, "This is a precious promise, I wonder if it be true?" but it goes straight to the throne with it, and pleads, "Lord, here is the promise, 'Do as thou hast said.'" Our Lord replies, "Be it unto thee even as thou wilt." When a Christian grasps a promise, if he does not take it to God, he dishonours him; but when he hastens to the throne of grace, and cries, "Lord, I have nothing to recommend me but this, 'Thou hast said it;'" then his desire shall be granted. Our heavenly Banker delights to cash his own notes. Never let the promise rust. Draw the word of promise out of its scabbard, and use it with holy violence. Think not that God will be troubled by your importunately reminding him of his promises. He loves to hear the loud outcries of needy souls. It is his delight to bestow favours. He is more ready to hear than you are to ask. The sun is not weary of shining, nor the fountain of flowing. It is God's nature to keep his promises; therefore go at once to the throne with "Do as thou hast said."
