By faith Joshua led Israel into the Promised Land. It was by faith that the walls of Jericho fell down after they were compassed about seven days. By faith Gideon served God against impossible odds. He won a victory over the Midianites with only 300 men. Faith does not ask for the easy way.
Faith goes on despite the hardships and meager results.
Faith serves, though the task seem impossible. Faith does not ask for present pay. If men do not applaud or appreciate, faith works on, willing to wait until the judgment seat. He worries about tomorrow and its needs. He worries about things which have not happened and perhaps never will happen.
