What did God say\r\nto Joshua? \"Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread\r\nupon, that have I given unto you.\" And then He draws the outlines  of the Land of Promise-all theirs on one condition: that they shall    march through the length and breadth of it, and measure it off with their own feet.\r\nThey never did that to more than one-third of the property, and\r\nconsequently they never had more than one-third; they had Just what they measured off, and no more.\r\nIn 2Peter, we read of the \"land of promise\" that Is opened up to us, and it is God's will that we should, as it were, measure off\r\nthat territory by the feet of obedient faith and believing thus claiming and appropriating it for our own.\r\n\r\nHow many of us have ever taken possession of the promises of God in the name of Christ?\r\nHere is a magnificent territory for faith to lay hold on and march\r\nthrough the length and breadth of, and faith has never done it yet.\r\nLet us enter into all our inheritance.

Glory! Glory!\" He who falls flat on the promises feels that  all\r\nthe riches embraced in them are his.--Faith Papers.\r\nThe Marquis of Salisbury was criticized for his Colonial policies and replied: \"Gentlemen, get larger maps.\"",1783499792049]
