Faith & Trust
It is when we are in his work that we may reckon upon his smile.
See then, dear friend, that the weakness of your faith will not destroy you. A trembling hand may receive a golden gift. The Lord’s salvation can come to us though we have only faith as a grain of mustard seed. The power lies in the grace of God, and not in our faith.
Faith is believing that Christ is what He is said to be, and that He will do what He has promised to do, and then to expect this of Him.
God abideth faithful. He is faithful in His love; He knows no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
To believe is simply to trust, to depend, to rely upon Christ Jesus.
When we serve our Lord Jesus as believers should do, our God is with us; and though we have the whole world against us, if we have God with us, what does it matter?
Faith occupies the position of a channel or conduit pipe. Grace is the fountain and the stream; faith is the aqueduct along which the flood of mercy flows down to refresh the thirsty sons of men.
Do not rest, O believer, till thou hast a full assurance of thine interest in Jesus.
Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence, and barometer, of vital and experimental religion.
If you look to Christ for your beginnings, beware of looking to yourself for your endings. He is Alpha. See to it that you make Him Omega also.
We must live near to Jesus—in his presence—ripened by the sunshine of his smiles.
If I neglect prayer for never so short a time, I lose all the spirituality to which I had attained.
In matters of grace you need a daily supply. You have no store of strength. Day by day must you seek help from above.
Faith cometh by hearing; therefore hear often. If I earnestly and attentively hear the gospel, one of these days I shall find myself believing that which I hear.
It is not sitting, but sitting at Jesus’ feet which is commendable.
A daily portion is all that a man really wants. We do not need tomorrow’s supplies; that day has not yet dawned, and its wants are as yet unborn.
Why then do we calculate our forces, and consult with flesh and blood to our grievous wounding?
Vain are all our lookings around to companions and relatives; they are broken reeds if we lean upon them.
Had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.
The shortest way to believe is to believe.
