Faith pierces through the mist of doubt that bars\r\nThe coming night sometimes, and finds the stars.\r\nThere shall be a performance of those things,\r\nO trusting heart, the Lord to thee hath told;\r\nLet Faith and Hope arise, and plume their wings, And soar towards the sunrise clouds of gold;\r\nThe portals of the rosy dawn swing wide,\r\nRevealing joys the darkening night did hide. --Bessie Porter.\r\nMatthew Henry says: \"We must depend upon the performance of the promise, when all the ways leading up to it are shut up. 'For all\r\nthe promises of God in him are yea (yes), and in him Amen (so be it), unto the glory of God by us' \" (2Cor. 1:20).",1783499793168]
