Faith in God's Faithfulness
- James Hudson Taylor
Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God" (Mark 11:22).
Hold God's faithfulness. Abraham held God's faith, and offered up Isaac, accounting that God was able to raise him up.
To Be Like Jesus
- Smith Wigglesworth
The word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit...and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
--Hebrews 4:12
Scripture reading: Philippians 2:1-22
Unbelief
- George Mueller
What an evil it is that keeps sinners from coming to Jesus Christ? And that evil is unbelief: for by faith we come; by unbelief we keep away. Therefore it is that by which a soul is said to depart from God: because it was that which at first caused the world to go off from Him, and that also, that keeps them from His to this day. . . .
This sin may be called the white devil. . . In its mischievous doing in the soul, shows as if it were an angel of light: yea, it acts like a counselor of heaven. . . .
Our dependence must be in the Lord
- Greg Gordon
"My heart is not proud, O Lord, my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters or things too wonderful for me. But I have stilled and quieted my soul; like a weaned child with its mother, like a weaned child is my soul within me. O Israel, put your hope in the Lord both now and forevermore." - Psalm 131 (NIV)
