Faith is like radar that sees through the fog -- the reality of things at a distance that the human eye cannot see.
Interpretation
Faith provides a clearer vision of the future, even when current circumstances are unclear.
This quote by Corrie Ten Boom emphasizes the importance of faith as a guiding force in our lives. Just as radar can detect objects in foggy conditions that our eyes cannot see, faith allows us to perceive possibilities and truths about the future that may not be immediately visible to us. It encourages us to trust in what we cannot yet see, fostering hope and resilience in uncertain times.
In practice
In a motivational speech about perseverance during tough times.
We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in Godβs work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.
And our wise Father in heaven knows when we're going to need things too. Don't run out ahead of Him.
If you want to hear God's voice clearly and you are uncertain, then remain in His presence until He changes this uncertainty. Often much can happen during this waiting for the Lord. Sometimes, He changes pride into humility; doubt into faith and peace; sometimes lust into purity. The Lord can and will do it.
And for all these people alike, the key to healing turned out to be the same. Each had a hurt he had to forgive.
Today I know that such memories are the key not to the past, but to the future. I know that the experiences of our lives, when we let God use them, become the mysterious and perfect preparation for the work He will give us to do.
God never measures the mind... He always put His tape measure in the HEART
Avoid a sugared gospel as you would shun sugar of lead. Seek the gospel which rips up and tears and cuts and wounds and hacks and even kills, for that is the gospel that makes alive again. And when you have found it, give good heed to it. Let it enter into your inmost being. As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.
But what is so headstrong as youth? What so blind as inexperience?
Blaming is a way to protect your heart, trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself.
Cynicism is just an excuse for not helping.
Not to converse with a man worthy of conversation is to waste the man. To converse with a man not worthy of conversation is to waste words. The wise waste neither men nor words.
