Faith is the attitude of celebration. Cheats often prosper and crooked men reach the top. Truth is forever on the scaffold and error ever on the throne. Justice will be done. This is not to deny that the universe can present a savage face.
Volcanoes bury a village, and terrorism and torture reveal man's inhumanity to man.
This faith shares in the faith of Him who came to this earth and was met by failure at every turn. There was no room for Him in the inn, no room for Him in His own country though only a babe, no room for Him in the hearts of His own people. The Lord of glory was He, but He trod this world unrecognized, un-honored, with nowhere to lay His head. But He would not fail nor be discouraged. He put His faith in God and pressed on alone.
