FAITH must act now, or it is not faith. We do not have faith until we use faith. Faith that is limited to the future is not faith, but distrust. Suppose we should say to a friend who asked us to trust him, "I will trust you implicitly to-morrow." "But will you not trust me now?" "I promise you that I will trust you absolutely to-morrow." How much would we be trusting that friend to-day? We might shrink from saying to his face that we distrusted him, but our answers would mean nothing else. And this is the way we often treat our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask Him for His own complete victory, power, peace; for the fulness of the Holy Spirit in our life. Then we say to ourselves that we believe that some day He will answer our prayer. And all the time He is asking, "Won't you trust Me now?" To say that we believe that some day our Lord will meet a spiritual need of ours which is a present need, is to say that we do not trust Him to-day. If we do trust Him absolutely to-day, we may well continue to trust Him to-morrow; but if we postpone our trust until to-morrow, we may find ourselves distrusting Him then just as much as to-day.—Sunday School Times.
