LIVING
BY FAITH(1)
Suppose we are traveling by a sailboat from one place to another. At the beginning of the
journey, the wind blows in the right direction, and we hoist the sail. After a while the
wind stops. Should we take out our oars and row, or should we anchor and wait until a good
wind comes before we set sail again? If we want to reach our destination sooner, we have
to try our best to row. At such times we are exerting the true strength we have. This is
only an illustration. When we are excited in our emotion, we are like a boat sailing with
the wind; the boat does not have to exert any effort. We
wish that there could be smooth sailing all year round. If the direction of the wind
changed, they would not know what to do. When God gives us favorable wind, we praise Him.
But He is also stirring us up to exercise the resurrection
power given to us. God gives us the dryness, so that when joy and excitement are tract
present, we would exercise our own strength (the strength we received at the time of our
regeneration). In this way, we will be able to pass through hindrances and contrary winds.
The power of resurrection is more clearly demonstrated in an environment filled with
death.
