[Manna - November 12]
Be not faithless, but believing. John 20:27
IT is impossible for us to come near to the Lord
except as we shall exercise faith and trust in Him, in
His goodness, in His power, in His wisdom, in His love....Faith is a matter of cultivation, of development.
The
same apostles who cried out in terror when the storm
was upon the Sea of Galilee gradually grew stronger
and stronger in faith until, as the records show, they
could and did trust the Lord in His absence and where
they could not trace Him.
Similarly it should be a
part of our daily lesson to cultivate trust in the Lord,
and to think of the experiences in the past in our
lives and all of these lessons in His Word, that thus
our faith in Him may become rooted and grounded. Z. '04-89 R3338:5
