======================================================================== THE NEVER-FAILING SPRINGS by John Henry Jowett ======================================================================== Summary: God's promises are never revoked and are always reliable, and we can find strength and joy in our weaknesses and struggles. Topics: "Gods Promises", "Divine Provision" Scripture References: Deuteronomy 31:6, Psalm 23:1, Isaiah 41:18, Isaiah 58:11, 2 Corinthians 12:9 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DESCRIPTION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Henry Jowett emphasizes the unchanging nature of God's promises, likening them to springs that never run dry, but rather reveal a richer abundance in times of need. Just as Apostle Paul found joy in his weaknesses as they led him to experience the richness of God's grace, we too can bring our needs to God and receive His abundant blessings. The promise of God's covenant is ever-fresh, providing strength and sustenance for each day, ensuring that His provision will never run out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CONTENT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GENESIS xvii. 1-8. "I will establish My covenant." The good promises of God are never revoked. They are like springs which know no shrinking in times of drought. Nay, in time of drought they reveal a richer fulness. The promises are confirmed in the hour of my need, and the greater my need the greater is my bounty. And so it was that the Apostle Paul came to "rejoice in his infirmities," for through his infirmities he discovered the riches of Divine grace. He brought a bigger pitcher to the fountain, and he always carried it away full. "As thy days so shall thy strength be." So I need never fear that the promise of yesterday will exhaust itself before to-morrow. God's covenant goes with us like the ever-fresh waters of the wilderness. "They drank of that rock which followed them, and that rock was Christ." Every fulfilment of God's promise is the pledge of one to come. God has no road without its springs. If His path stretches across the waste wilderness the "fountains shall break out in the desert," and "the wilderness shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." ======================================================================== Source: https://sermonindex.net/speakers/john-henry-jowett/the-never-failing-springs/ ========================================================================
