This passage explains that when God makes a promise, people should trust Him and ask Him to keep His word. It teaches that many people forget to read the Bible, but knowing what God says is the only strong foundation for real faith. True faith doesn’t depend on feelings, dreams, or special experiences—only on God’s promises—and it boldly says, “Lord, do as You have said.”
