March 7 | Morning

March 7th, morning, have faith in God, Mark chapter 11, verse 22. Faith gives feet to

the soul, enabling it to march along the road of the commandments. Love can make the feet

move more swiftly, but it is faith that carries the soul. Faith is the oil, enabling the wheels

of holy devotion and of practical holiness to move well. And without faith, the wheels

are taken from the chariot and we drag ourselves along. With faith, I can do all things. Without

faith, I will be missing both the inclination and the power to do anything in the service

of God. If you want to find the men who serve God best, you must look for men of faith. Little

faith will save a man. The little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor little faith

could not afford a polyon. It needed Christian to do that. Poor little faith could not

have slain giant despair. It required great heart's arm to knock that monster down. Little

faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nutshell, and it

frequently loses all but its jewels. Little faith says it is a rough road, beset with sharp

thorns and full of dangers, I am afraid to go, but great faith remembers the promise. Your bars

shall be iron and bronze, and as your days so shall your strength be, and so she boldly ventures.

Little faith stands despondently, mingling her tears with the flood, but great faith sings,

when you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the rivers they shall not overwhelm

you, and she crosses the stream at once. Do you want to be comfortable and happy? To enjoy the

journey, do you desire cheerfulness rather than gloom? Then have faith in God. If you love dark

ness and are satisfied to dwell in gloom and misery, then be content with little faith, but if you

love the sunshine and would sing songs of rejoicing, covet earnestly this best gift, great faith.
