Jacob, according to the text with which we have headed this chapter, took possession of the promised land by stretching himself upon it, and going to sleep. There is no surer way of taking possession of a promise than by placing your whole weight upon it, and then enjoying a hearty rest. “The land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it.”

How often have I found the promise true to my own self when I have accepted it as truth, and acted upon it! I have stretched myself upon it as upon a couch, and left myself in the hands of the Lord; and a sweet repose has crept over my spirit. Confidence in God realizes its own desires. The promise which our Lord made to those who seek favors in prayer runs thus,—“Believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This sounds strange, but it is true; it is according to the philosophy of faith. Say, by a realizing faith, “this promise is mine,” and straightway it is yours. It is by faith that we “receive promises,” and not by sight and sense.
