There is no guarantee that even five years after we have been saved we will be found in the measure of faith we had in our earlier Christian life. Let us consider this matter for a minute. We are told in Numbers 13 and 14. We are well able to prevail. A person who wholly follows the Lord is one who believes that the promises of God are trustworthy, that He is with His people, and that they are well able to overcome.
Many people believe, but their faith is a vacillating faith.
They are very timid. They sing their song of praise, but though the words are right, there is something wrong with the tune. A person who wholly follows the Lord and reckons Him to be trustworthy is one who does the will of God and does it at once. Their eyes were fixed on the difficulties before them. If one keeps looking at his difficulties, he will surely find no hope in the situation.
