The Chief of God’s Promises – Richard Baxter

Faith Rests on the Promises – Richard Cecil

Faith Rests on the Promises – Richard Cecil

Faith laughs at the shaking of the spear; unbelief trembles at the shaking of a leaf, unbelief starves the soul; faith finds food in famine, and a table in the wilderness. In the greatest danger, faith says, “I have a great God.” When outward strength is broken, faith rests on the promises.

An Active Faith – Matthew Henry

An active faith can give thanks for a promise, though it be not as yet performed, knowing that God’s bonds are as good as ready money [cash].
