Our life is like a contest for a prize
24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 25 And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown;

FAITH IS TRUSTFaith is belief that we are never alone,
Faith is trust in God alone,
Who sent His Son to save our souls;
Faith is trusting in God above,
Who gave us Jesus to prove His love.When the storms of life continue to blow;Faith is bearing our cross alone,
Faith is believing we are called from above,
To fight a good fight of faith in love.While the world mocks and hates the unknown;
Faith is knowing Our Father who watches above,
Waits with open arms to welcome His Children Home.

Sublime Intimacy
"Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe,
thou shouldest see the glory of God?" John 11:40
Every time you venture out in the
life of faith, you will find some-
thing in yourcommon-sense circum-
stances that flatly contradicts
your faith. Common sense is not
faith, and faith is not common
sense; they stand in the relation
of the natural and the spiritual.
Can you trust Jesus Christ where
your common sense cannot trust Him?
Can you venture heroically on Jesus
Christ's statements when the facts
of your common-sense life shout -
"It's a lie?" On the mount it is
easy to say - 'Oh, yes, I believe
God can do it'; but you have to
come down into the demon-possessed
valley and meet with facts that
laugh ironically at the whole of
your mount-of-transfiguration belief.
Every time my programme of, belief
is clear to my own mind, I come
across something that contradicts it.
Let me say I believe God will supply
all my need, and then let me run dry,
with no outlook, and see whether I
will go through the trial of faith,
or whether I will sink back to some-
thing lower. Faith must be tested,
because it can be turned into a
personal possession only through
conflict. What is your faith up
against just now? The test will either
prove that your faith is right, or it
will kill it."Blessed is he whosoever shall not be
offended in Me." The final thing is
confidence in Jesus. Believe stead-
fastly on Him and all you come up
against will develop your faith. There
is continual testing in the life of
faith, and the last great test is death.
May God keep us in fighting trim! Faith
is unutterable trust in God, trust
which never dreams that He will not
stand by us.Christianbook.com offers several print
