Oh This Is Reality, Not

We Should Not Shrink From Opportunities Where Our Faith May Be Tried. The More I Am In A Position To Be Tried In Faith, The More I Will Have The Opportunity Of Seeing God’s Help And Deliverance. Every Fresh Instance In Which He Helps And Delivers Me Will Increase My Faith. The Believer Should Not Shrink From Situations, Positions, Or Circumstances In Which His Faith May Be Tried, But He Should Cheerfully Embrace Them As Opportunities To See The Hand Of God Stretched Out In Help And Deliverance. Thus His Faith Will Be Strengthened.

If We Say We Trust In Him, But In Reality Do Not, Then God, Taking Us At Our Word, Lets Us See That We Do Not Really Confide In Him, And Hence Failure Arises.

Often The Work Of The Lord Itself May Be A Temptation To Keep Us From That Communion With Him Which Is So Essential To The Benefit Of Our Own Souls.

God Delights To Increase The Faith Of His Children. We Ought, Instead Of Wanting No Trials Before Victory, No Exercise For Patience, To Be Willing To Take Them From God's Hands As A Means. Trials, Obstacles, Difficulties And Sometimes Defeats, Are The Very Food Of Faith.

I Desire Many Things Concerning Myself; But I Desire Nothing So Much, As To Have A Heart Filled With Love To The Lord. I Long For A Warm Personal Attachment To Him.
