"And he leaped and walked. Verse 10. The fact that he had never walked before made no difference. When he received an inspired command to walk, he sprang to his feet and stepped off as if he had been trained all his life to walking. Our expectations ought not to be limited to our former experiences. If we never successfully resisted the peculiar temptation which at present besets us, we ought to heed God's command, and have power over it now. If we have been hitherto unable to teach a class, or to lead in family worship, or to shake off a vicious companion, or to give liberally as God has supplied us, or to control our tempers or tongues, or to do any other duty assigned to us, we ought to stand upright now at the divine call, and start right out on the path before us. And we shall do this if we have faith to be made whole."—H. Clay Trumbull.
