Jesus said unto him,
If thou
canst believe,
all things are possible to him
that believeth
Mark 9:23
THE ALL OF BELIEF
Our unbelief is the greatest hindrance in our way; in fact, there
is no other real difficulty as
to our spiritual progress and
prosperity. The Lord can do
everything; but when He makes a
rule that according to our faith
so shall it be unto us, our
unbelief ties the hands of His
Omnipotence.
Yes, the confederacies of evil shall be scattered if we can but
believe. Despised truth shall
lift its head if we will but
have confidence in the God of
truth. We can bear our load of
trouble, or pass uninjured
through the waves of distress,
if we can gird our loins with
the girdle of peace, that girdle
which is buckled on by the hands
of trust.
What can we not believe? Is everything possible except believing in
God? Yet He is always true; why
do we not believe Him? He is
always faithful to His word; why
can we not trust Him?
When we are in a
right state of heart faith costs
no effort: it is then as natural
for us to rely upon God as for a
child to trust its father. The
worst of it is, that we can
believe God about everything
except the present pressing
trial. This is folly.
Come, my soul,
shake off such sinfulness, and
trust thy God with the load, the
labor, the longing of this
present.
This done, all is done.

Them"
