Dear Young Christian:
It is going to take real faith to live for the Lord this week. But remember, YOU CAN’T OPERATE ON SOMEONE ELSE’S FAITH. You must exercise your own faith. Every step you take in lifemustbe a step of your own faith in the living God who gave you the faith to start with and now wants you to use it. Never do anything or go anywhere because someone else did. Do what the Lord directs you to do and do it because you have faith in Him.
This is a lesson we learn from the early life of David when he was preparing to fight Goliath. “And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put a helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him” (1 Samuel 17:38-39). Instead David took what he had proved in the strength of the Lord … his sling and five smooth stones.
Your Christian Friend,
