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].
