All The Land Which Thou Seest
The actual provisions of God's grace
come from the inner vision. He who
gives to the bird the instinct to cross
the continent in search of summer
sunshine in a southern climate is too
good to deceive it.
And just as surely as He has put the
instinct in the breast of the bird,
so has He also put the balmy breezes
and the vernal sunshine there
to meet it when it arrives.
He who gave to Abraham
the vision of the Land of Promise
also said in infinite truth and love:
All the land that thou seest will I give thee.
He who breathes into our hearts
the heavenly hope will not deceive
or fail us when we press forward
to its realization. There is nothing
unfaithful in Him who has said:
If it were not so, I would have told you
(John 14:2), and we may know that
God never will deceive us or fail us,
but all that He reveals by His Holy Spirit
He will make our own as we press forward
and enter into its realization.
Lord, give me first the vision
and then the victory.
Show me all my inheritance,
and then give it all to me in Christ Jesus.
