FAITH THAT THRILLS

And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead.—Acts: 10:42:

To an honest yet exceedingly wealthy man, it’s an offense just to doubt him honoring his own voluntary, solemn pledge of furnishing you with money for a bicycle. Firstly, he hasn’t been asked to pledge but he’s done it out of the abundance of his kind heart. Again, he’s not one to be associated with financial inadequacy; he has the bucks in plenty.

What more throbbing and insulting is it always to our loving and caring Almighty God when we doubt Him honoring His own promises for His children! Do we doubt that, “Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it”? (1 Thessalonians 5:24)

And for this, I like the Word of God. It’s never a question of how compelling we are to share it; lest we forget this: in itself it is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)
