From this morning’s devotional reading:
I read this morning that when Jesus encountered the disciples on their walk to Emmaus, they spoke of their faith in the past tense: “We trusted.” (Luke 24:21) Jesus responded to them, “O fools, and slow of heart to believe.”
Let us never put our faith, as these disciples did, in the past tense – “We trusted.” But let us ever say, “I am trusting.”
The Song of a Bird in a Winter Storm
The soft, sweet summer was warm and glowing,
Bright were the blossoms on every bough:
I trusted Him when the roses were blooming;
I trust Him now….
Small were my faith should it weakly falter
Now that the roses have ceased to blow;
Frail were the trust that now should alter,
Doubting His love when storm clouds grow.
