Hallelujah ~ The Lord God Omnipotent Reigneth!
To
be occupied with thoughts about God as He is revealed in the
Scriptures will increase our faith. Much that passes current 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].
