2 Samuel 7:23-25. And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemest to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. And now, O LORD God, the word that thou host spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.
What a blessed prayer this is, "Do as thou hast said"! Get hold of a promise of the Lord, take it to the throne of grace, and then urge this plea, "Do as thou hast said." It is a good argument to use with every upright man when we remind him of his promise, and ask him to keep his pledged word; and certainly we may use this plea with the thrice holy God: "Do as thou hast said."
