Am I asking what Jesus approves of?
Charles SpurgeonWhat a vast promise! Something! Big or small, all my needs are covered by that word "something". Come, my soul, freely before the mercy seat, and hear your Lord when he says to you: "Open your mouth, and I will fill it."
What a wise promise! We must always ask in the name of Jesus. While this encourages us, it also honors Him. This is a constant argument. Occasionally any other argument is obscured, especially those that we might draw from our own relationship with God, or our experience of His grace; But in moments like this, the name of Jesus is as powerful on the throne as ever, and we can argue it with full confidence.
