“For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.” Hebrews‬ ‭10:36‬ ‭KJV‬‬. Today there is much said about claiming the promises of God. And certainly God’s promises are all yeah and amen in Christ! We are tremendously blessed to be able to stand on the promises. And yet, there are some who don’t understand that many Biblical promises are conditional. This means that our ability to claim and receive them is conditioned upon some response on our part. Here, we are reminded of one of the primary conditions that we must meet before we can receive the promise. And that is, we must do the will of God! It means God is waiting on our obedient response when He has shown us His will. For anyone to live or walk contrary to God’s revealed will, such as living in known sin, is to place themselves in a position where they cannot receive God’s promise. May each of us set our hearts to do God’s will. This makes it possible for us to have faith to claim God’s great and precious promises. And then, having received the promise,  we can do as the song says, and ‘Stand on the promises of God’.
