Peaks Of Pearl!
"Let us hold fast the confession of
our hope without wavering, for
He
who promised is faithful."
Hebrews 10: 23
In Streams in the
Desert, James Smetham is quoted:
“I suspect that the source of every bit of sorrow in my
life can be traced to simple unbelief. If I truly believe
the past is totally forgiven, the present is supplied with
power, and the future is bright with hope, how could I
be anything but completely happy?”
Could it really be as simple as that? Yes, but we must
grow in faith. Jesus looked at people and marveled at
the weakness of their faith; others impressed Him with
great faith. As we spend time in His Word connecting
His promises to our problems, we
grow in faith.
As the trials of life drive us to His throne in prayer,
we grow in faith. As we learn to look to Him rather
than just at our circumstances, we grow in faith.
If you’re in trouble, acknowledge God’s reliability
and admit fear. Then take your burdens to the
Lord, knowing He is encamped around you.
He fortifies you to rejoice in the past, the
present, and the future He is overseeing
for your good.
"God’s faithfulness stands firm and is
prominent as mountain peaks of pearl
splitting the clouds of eternity."
James Smetham
