I Will Surely Do You Good (Genesis 32:12)

Jay explains the meaning of this promise in light of the many afflictions that God’s people experience. He then gives us four headings;

First, consider God’s sufficiency.

Second, God’s desire to do good for us is evident.

Third, God’s commitment to doing us good.

Fourth, God’s actions in doing us good.
