There is nothing that
puts the Christian at greater disadvantage in the presence of his
foes than for him to let go, even temporarily, his grip upon the
anchor of faith. Let him do so for a moment, and of necessity
darkness begins to gather round him; he cannot see the brightness of
his Father’s face for “without faith it is impossible to please
God”; and while he grapples again for the anchor, the powers of
darkness fiercely assail him with doubts and fears, based generally
upon his human imperfections, which ever bear in mind are covered by
the robe of Christ’s righteousness. If we would have the peace of
God reign in our hearts, we must never let go our anchor, “nor
suffer Satan’s deadliest strife to beat our courage down.” The
language of our hearts should always be, “Though he slay me, yet
will I trust in him”. |
