To believe in the Lord Jesus Christ without the least encouragement of sense is the most noble exercise of faith, and that which most pleases the Lord.
To believe in the Lord Jesus Christ when he is frowning upon you and when you have nothing else to live upon–this is the most noble exercise of faith in this life. To believe on the Lord Jesus when your table is spread and when your borders are enlarged is no great difficulty. But now, to live by faith upon Christ when there is no encouragment from the world is the most noble exercise of faith.
“What?” says sense, “live by faith upon Christ when He has impoverished me and emptied me of all wordly enjoyments?” Yes, now is the time to exercise faith, and this is the most noble exercise of faith and that which most pleases the Lord.
