God Wants Us to Trust the Words He Has Promised ㅡ

 “For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”

 (2 Timothy 1:7)

Faith takes God at His word, not asking to understand the meaning of the trying experiences that come.

But there are many who have little faith.

They are always fearing and borrowing trouble.

Every day they are surrounded by the tokens of God’s love, every day they enjoy the bounties of His providence; but they overlook these blessings.

And the difficulties they encounter, instead of driving them to God, separate them from Him, by arousing unrest and repining....

Jesus is their Friend.

All heaven is interested in their welfare, and their fear and repining grieve the Holy Spirit.

We are to trust His promises.

When we have asked for His blessing, we should believe that we receive it, and thank Him that we have it.

Then we are to go about our duties, assured that the blessing will be sent when we need it most.

When we have learned to do this, we shall know that our prayers are answered.

God will do for us “exceeding abundantly,” “according to the riches of His glory” and “the working of His mighty power.” (Ephesians 3:16, 1:19, 3:20).
