10/14 Thursday thoughts

"This is the work of God, that ye believe."
Nothing in the world glorifies God so much as simple rest of faith in what God's Word says. Jesus said, "...My Father worketh hitherto, and I work" (John 5:17). He saw the way the Father did the works; it was on the groundwork of knowledge, faith based upon knowledge. When I know Hm, there are any amount of promises I can lay hold of, then there is no struggle, "For [he] that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matthew 7:8).
-- Smith Wigglesworth, 1919
