Seldom
have we heard a better definition of faith than was given once in one
of our meetings by a dear old colored woman, as she answered the
question of a young man how to take the Lord for needed help.
In
her characteristic way, pointing her finger toward him, she said with
great emphasis: "You've just got to believe that He's done it, and it's
done."
The Great Danger with most of us is, that after we ask Him to do
it, we do not believe that it's done...
But we keep on helping Him, and
getting others to help Him; superintending God and waiting to see how He
is going to do it.
Faith adds its amen to God's yea,
and then takes its hands off, and leaves God to finish His work.
Its
language is, "Commit thy way unto the Lord, trust also in Him; and He
worketh."
Lord, I give up the struggle...
To Thee commit my way...
Trust Thy word forever...
And settle it all to-day...
