More on difficulties and having faith

I just finished reading the commentary on the book of Habakkuk from our CBS workbook.

There were some profound statements made by the authors that I have to share. (Light bulb going off moment!)

With some paraphrasing ...

"Only God can sustain us through difficult days ahead, providing strength to meet each challenge. He never calls on believers to endure difficulties for which He does not supply the resources."

"The ultimate act of faith is to trust God when calamity is certain and there is no way out. But triumph comes in the form of our decision to trust in the Lord."

"Although faith cannot carry us through the immense difficulties of life because faith is powerless without the right object. The question is not "How big is my faith?" but "How big is my God?" Jesus said we only need faith the size of a mustard seed to move a mountain (Mat 17:20). We could sing in dark times because our eyes are not on the bleak circumstances, but on our Sovereign God."

"Our circumstances may not change, but we can."

Thank you Lord for Your revelation. May I rejoice in You always.
