" . . . whatever God has said to you, do it."
These words (above) of Jacob's wives, to him, are pretty good. How encouraging is it, when other believers urge us on in our holy faith, and the demands it puts on us? This is especially true, when what we are called upon to do, by God, is not easy, and it grates against our natural tendencies.
Let all the faithful church be found saying to one another: "Whatever God has said to you, do it." And what is it that God would have us al-
ways do? To be united to Jesus, by grace through faith. When this is the case, we can do anything the Lord calls upon us to do. When this is not happening, we can do nothing of any eternal value whatsoever.
