Faith In the Lord

Ephesians 1:15-16 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

One of my favorite hymns is “Have Faith in God” (1934). It was written by B. B. McKinney who wrote many hymns, among them, “Let Others See Jesus in You” (1924), “Breath On Me” (1937), and “Wherever He Leads I’ll Go” (1937).

I trust the words below will be an encouragement to you today. God does things big, like create the universe, and He does things little, like speak to you in a still, small voice.

Have Faith in God

Have faith in God when your pathway is lonely. He sees and knows all the way you have trod;

Never alone are the least of His children; Have faith in God, have faith in God.

Have faith in God when your prayers are unanswered, Your earnest plea He will never forget;

Wait on the Lord, trust His word and be patient, Have faith in God. He’ll answer yet.

Have faith in God in your pain and your sorrow, His heart is touched with your grief and despair;

Cast all your cares and your burdens upon Him, And leave them there, oh, leave them there.

Have faith in God though all else fall about you; Have faith in God, He provides for His own:

He cannot fail though all kingdoms shall perish. He rules. He reigns upon His throne.

Have faith in God, He’s on His throne, Have faith in God, He watches over His own;

He cannot fail, He must prevail, Have faith in God, Have faith in God.

Reflection—Faith and love are in and from the heart but are seen in the life.
