God Gives Us Faith and Hope ㅡ

 “Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.”

 (1 Peter 1:21)

The powers of darkness gather about the soul and shut Jesus from our sight, and at times we can only wait in sorrow and amazement until the cloud passes over.

These seasons are sometimes terrible.

Hope seems to fail, and despair seizes upon us.

In these dreadful hours we must learn to trust, to depend solely upon the merits of the atonement, and in all our helpless unworthiness cast ourselves upon the merits of the crucified and risen Saviour.

We shall never perish while we do this—never!

When light shines on our pathway, it is no great thing to be strong in the strength of grace.

But to wait patiently in hope when clouds envelop us and all is dark, requires faith and submission which causes our will to be swallowed up in the will of God.

We are too quickly discouraged, and earnestly cry for the trial to be removed from us, when we should plead for patience to endure and grace to overcome.
