Job 14:14. “If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.”
TESTED TRUTH. I have read of it, talked about it, heard it spoken In my head I know it is true. But are the things I know intellectually as just a token Or are they truths I have grasped through and through?
The things I’ve experienced are really my own I know by faith and by results of the action. I know I put faith in the Lord Jesus alone And in His grace, I have found full satisfaction.
The practice of living by faith to me is real We’ve experienced God’s provision time and again. There is a comfort in trusting Him daily that we feel We literally have gotten all we need from Him.
The miles we have travelled have taught us this fact God is there when we travel life’s road. Not only on highways, but for us He consistently acts By lightening burdens and sharing with us each load.
I do not doubt Him, in my heavenly Father I trust Knowing He knows things unknown to me. It is not as difficult when seen things come upon us But the hard part is when there are things I can’t see.
Faith springs into action when reading God’s Word And the hidden things then are really made plain. The actions of faith mean I truly trust in the Lord Whether He chooses to bring me comfort or pain.
I know death is coming and that I have not tasted; By its nature it is contained in one single act. But in dying to sin, the lesson was not wasted; Because from death there is no turning back.
In the past Job wondered if resurrection is true; Now we know from God’s Word how it will happen. Though I have not experienced it, in one way, I’ve been through – Being raised to new life in Christ is a personal action.
“O Holy God, I do not doubt Thee even if I do not know what is ahead. I find great joy in the life of faith and seeing Thee open the way before us each day as I journey. I thank Thee for the full assurance of faith. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
