And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:10
D.L. MOODY
A man will not trust strangers. I want to get acquainted with a man before I put my confidence in him. I have known God for forty years, and I have more confidence in Him now than I ever had before; it increases every year. In the Bible, some things that were dark ten years ago are plain today; and some things that are dark now will be plain ten years hence.
We must take things by faith. You take the existence of cities on the testimony of men that have been in those cities; and we ask men to take our testimony, who have found joy in believing.
ERWIN LUTZER
There is compelling evidence that the Bible is the Word of God, but that being said, there are difficulties in the Bible we struggle to understand. As Blaise Pascal would say, there is enough evidence for Christianity for those who are open to belief but also enough darkness for those who are committed to disbelief.
But for those of us who accept the Bible as God’s Word and have come to know Christ, as Moody said, our faith grows year by year. We look back and see what God has done for us; we have experienced His forgiveness and guidance.
I can do no better than to quote the words of David: “One thing have I asked of the LORD that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD” (Psalm 27:4). Day by day and year by year, the longer we walk with God the more we trust Him.

Father, increase the faith and love I have for you.
