Live by Faith.—That man who will triumph with Christ in these days of peril, will be he who breaks through all feelings of apathy and indifference, and seeks God by living faith, because he needs God. Thousands will wait for some special feeling, some wave of enthusiasm, the testimony or influence of some great man, some outward manifestation of power, no one of which may ever come to them, and if it did might not be perceived. Thus waiting they will be swept into the great flood of sin and infidelity. Faith is not feeling. “Faith is ours to exercise, but feeling is God’s to give.” Faith will cleave to God whether feeling is present or not. Have faith in God; “have it to thyself before God.” His coming will vindicate it all.
