Whispers of His Power - 30 Days of InspirationMuestra

Faith and Trust

All of us are sometimes troubled by questions. Why is the secret of healing not opened more fully? Why is that key not put into wise and loving hands? Why does He whose touch has not lost its ancient power not come immediately and touch and heal? Why have the wicked such awful power?

Why are we ourselves sometimes like the little ship on the sea of Galilee beaten by the winds? And even after we have heard our dear Lord’s "Peace, be still," why is it that there is not always instantly a great calm, a lasting calm? Why do the winds return again? We could go on forever, piling question on question. Why? Why? Why?

But faith is not “trusting God when we understand His ways”—there is no need for faith then. Faith is trusting when nothing is explained. Faith rests under the Unexplained. Faith enters into the deep places of our Lord’s words, "And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me." Faith, having entered into those deep places, stays there in peace.
