I shall never forget a remark George Mueller once made in answer to a
gentleman who asked him the best way to have strong faith. "The only way
to learn strong faith," replied the patriarch of faith, 16 is to endure
great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm in severe
testing. What Mr. Mueller said is very true. The time to trust is when
all else fails. If we could only realize the value of our present
opportunity. Even while we are passing through these great afflictions,
we are being held in the very soul of the strongest faith. If we will
only let go, He will teach us in these hours the mightiest hold upon
this throne which we can ever know.

Be not afraid, only believe.

If you are afraid, just look up and say, What time I am afraid, I will
trust in thee, and you will yet thank God for the school of sorrow which
was to you the school of faith. 0 brother, give heed to the warning, And
obey His voice today. The Spirit to thee is calling, Oh, do not grieve
Him away.
