The Strength and Weakness of Faith
Genesis 15:7, 8
And he said to him, I am the LORD that brought you out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land to inherit it.…


I. FAITH'S SOURCE OF STRENGTH.

1. Looking up to the Divine character - "I am the Lord."

2. Looking back to the Divine grace - "that brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees."

3. Looking oat to the Divine promise - "to give thee this land to inherit it."

II. FAITH'S OCCASION OF WEAKNESS.

1. Looking forward - the fulfillment of the promise seeming far away.

2. Looking in - discovering nothing either in or about itself to guarantee its ultimate realization. - W.
