Live
by faith. There is no other true and right way to live.
Without faith it is impossible to please God, and of
course the life that pleases God is the only life that is
perfect. We can please God; we can walk each day in a way
that is pleasing to him. Such a walk is by faith, not by
sight. God honors faith. He loves to have His Word
believed. He delights to hear the prayer of faith; it
avails with Him.
Around the great white throne in
heaven the angels are shouting day and night, "Holy,
holy, holy, Lord God A1mighty! blessing and glory and
wisdom and thanksgiving honor and power belong to
thee." But amid all this sound of praise God hears a
voice and bends an ear to listen. It is the prayer of
faith from the heart of one of His children. There are
never too many angels singing nor too many harps
resounding for God to hear the voice of His children.
There is never too many angels singing "shalt thou
hear in the morning." He hears the first faint cry of
His heaven-born child. Even the unuttered wish of the
heart, the unexpressed desire, the faintest breathing of
love, He hears and recognizes as the voice of his child.
Faith will wing its way into the presence of God. It
traverses the universe until it finds him and there brings
the soul to its rest. Faith will guide us through this
world.
Faith touches God. A woman came to
Jesus and tremblingly reached out her feeble hand and
touched the hem of His garment. He asked, "Who
touched me?" It was not the finger-touch that He
felt, but the faith-touch. Today we can touch Him by faith
and by no other way. Though many angels may be thronging
Him, yet the feeblest touch of faith will reach Him. You
may be one of the weakest ones, unnoticed and unknown. A
little cabin on the mountainside may be your home, but
your feeblest cry of faith will reach the throne of God,
and He will send angels to encamp round about you and
deliver you. Have faith in God. When all is dark around
you, believe in Him. Trust Him when you can not trace, and
believe when you can not see. Never doubt His Word. Faith
will prevail and bring you the desire of your heart. Will
you believe?
