God Shall Supply My Need

     My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory
by Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:19  

     It is difficult to exercise living faith when we are in darkness
and discouragement. But this of all others is the very time when we
should exercise faith. "But," says one, "I do not feel at such times
like praying in faith." Well, then, will you allow Satan to gain the
victory, simply because you do not feel like resisting him? When he sees
that you have the greatest need of divine aid, he will try the hardest
to beat you back from God. If he can keep you away from the Source of
strength, he knows that you will walk in darkness and sin. There is no
sin greater than unbelief. And when there is unbelief in the heart,
there is danger that it will be expressed. The lips should be kept in as
with bit and bridle, lest by giving expression to this unbelief you not
only exert an injurious influence over others, but place yourselves upon
the enemy's ground.  

     If we believe in God, we are armed with the righteousness of
Christ; we have taken hold of His strength. . . . We want to talk with
our Saviour as though He were right by our side. . . .  

     It is our privilege to carry with us the credentials of our faith,
--love, joy, and peace. When we do this, we shall be able to present the
mighty arguments of the cross of Christ. When we learn to walk by faith
and not by feeling, we shall have help from God just when we need it,
and His peace will come into our hearts. It was this simple life of
obedience and trust that Enoch lived. If we learn this lesson of simple
trust, ours may be the testimony that he received, that he pleased God.


     If we commit the keeping of our souls to God in the exercise of
living faith, His promises will not fail us; for they have no limit but
our faith.
