God lives and works today.
But perhaps you tell yourself sadly, yes, other
people might believe that and experience it too.
But me, I don't have enough faith.
What can I do?
The answer is in today's meditation by Vassalia
Schlink called, How to Believe.
O faith brings God's almighty power To men
so weak and lowly.
When tempted, victory we'll share If we but
trust God wholly.
For nothing can our way oppose.
Even iron doors we'll give to those Who
trust in God almighty.
What grace it is when God places impossibilities
in our lives and work Or even in
our sinful nature.
Why do I call it grace?
It's the only way by which God can
exact faith from us.
For when everything in our lives seems hopeless,
There's only one possibility left.
This possibility is to believe.
Therefore, don't miss this opportunity.
Take advantage of it now by beginning to
proclaim your faith Over every shattered hope in
your life.
Don't speak empty words.
No, speak words that are filled with faith
And hold these words up to the Lord
in the face of every impossibility.
Such words can truly overcome the enemy And
our own unbelieving heart as well.
For example, say, The heavenly Father cannot disappoint
me.
The Father is love.
The Father will help me.
The Father has a plan for my life.
And Jesus, our Savior, is the victor.
He will bring everything to victory in my
life And in my battle against my sins.
God's promises come true Whatever He says, they'll
do.
My heart, no doubt, can hold About what
He has taught.
Whoever has never encountered God God is a
mysterious, incomprehensible God Doesn't know what it means
to believe.
And whoever has not held on to God
Even as the God who is difficult to
understand Hasn't yet really proved his faith in
Him.
Faith is like a window in a dark
prison Through which one can climb out into
light and freedom.
Yes, faith is a door for us To
the land of freedom and redemption.
Therefore believe, and you will be helped.
The trusting soul inherits all The heavenly kingdom's
riches.
The Father's hands let blessings fall While bond
and duty changes.
Though we be told of things you lack
In joyous ways we answer back With trust
in God almighty.
Oh, clearly shines His sacred name Amen and
all-affirming.
Each promise we can safely claim They need
no more confirming.
We praise in heartfelt gratefulness His steadfast truth
and faithfulness To God be all the glory.
