Key Verse: "Looking unto Jesus the
author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before
him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right
hand of the throne of God."
- Hebrews 12:2 KJV
If Jesus is especially glorified in the faith of His people, let yours be a life of faith in all its minute detail. Live upon Him for spiritual supplies; live upon Him for temporal supplies. Go to Him in dark providences, that you may be kept from sinking: go to Him in bright providences, that you may be kept from falling. Go to Him when the path is rough, that you may walk in it contentedly: go to Him when the path is smooth, that you may walk in it surely. Let your daily history be a traveling to Jesus empty, and a coming from Jesus filled.
Keep the truth
constantly and prominently before your eye, "The just shall live by faith."
If this be so, do not expect that God will ever permit you to live by sight.
Bend your whole soul submissively to Him in this matter. Let His will and
yours be one. If, in the course of your wilderness journeyings, He has
brought you into a great difficulty, yes, to the very margin of the sea,
still, at His bidding, "go forward," though it be into that sea. Trust Him
to cleave asunder its waters, making a dry passage for your feet, and
causing those very waves that threatened to engulf you, now to prove as a
cloud canopying you above, and as walls of strength fencing you in on every
side.
Are you Saved?
