Faith in the Almighty God



To be occupied with thoughts about God as He is revealed in the Scriptures will increase our faith. Much that passes for faith today is either sentiment or presumption. Faith must be based upon a true revelation of God, and we have this revelation in the Bible. The way to have a strong faith is to have a great and mighty God. Nobody’s faith can be stronger than he believes his God to be. I cannot have strong faith in a God who, I think, is weaker than men.

If my God is weak, my faith, of necessity, will be correspondingly weak. I cannot have much faith in God if I believe He is being defeated on most battlefields. I cannot have much faith in God if I believe He is trying and failing, if I believe He is doing the best He can to accomplish as much good as He can and to save as many as He can. But if, like Job, I believe that “What His soul desireth, even that He doeth” (Job 23:13), then with Paul I can say that “He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Ephesians 3:20).
