Faith tells us that we have a future, too. Not only will our faith grow larger, but we, ourselves, will grow into a larger life. There are two streets in Largo, Florida named Southview and Northview. There was not enough room on the map to write them out, so the mapmaker abbreviated. If you look on the map, you'll see So.view and No.view.
Faith never lives on such a street.
Faith opens up for us a view of the eternal, a view of the future far better than the best of the present, far better than the happiest of the past. Faith unleashes a potential, a power, in our own lives. The power of steam was available for a long, long time before it was ever harnessed and put to use. In 120 B.C. in Egypt they used the power of steam to turn a toy. Nobody ever thought of doing anything else with it for hundreds and hundreds of years until at last Fulton made his steamboat.
