He could say of Abraham,\r\n\"I know him, that he will command his children ... that the Lord\r\nmay bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken.\" God can be depended upon; He wants us to be just as decided, as reliable, as stable. This is just what faith means.\r\nGod is looking for men on whom He can put the weight of all His  love and power and faithful promises. God's engines are strong   enough to draw any weight we attach to them. Unfortunately the  cable which we fasten to the engine is often too weak to hold the weight of our prayer, therefore God is drilling us, disciplining us    to stability and certainty in the life of faith. Let us learn our\r\nlessons and stand fast. --A. B. Simpson.\r\nGod knows that you can stand that trial; He would not give it to you if you could not. It is His trust in you that explains the\r\ntrials of life, however bitter they may be. God knows our strength,\r\nand He measures it to the last inch; and a trial was never given to    any man that was greater than that man's strength, through God, to bear it.",1783499794030]
