“And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.”
But you have said, I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted. The covenant promise is the ground of Jacob's appeal: you said this, therefore you cannot let me die before it is fulfilled. Hebrews 10:23 calls for holding unswervingly to the hope we profess. The application: praying God's own promises back to him is the most confident prayer — not demanding but claiming what has been declared.
