“It is a wonderful thing to come to a place where we have nothing to trust in but God. It forces us to put our trust in the only place of ultimate hope–Christ.
When it is all stripped away, when all our resources are exhausted as eventually they are, there is one answer we have had all along, “the righteous will live by faith.” Habakkuk 2:4.
Several times in my life I have had the gift of coming to a place where all I had to trust in was God. In retrospect, those were the precious times of simple faith where I learned more about my Heavenly Father than all the theology I have studied, sermons I have preached or books I have read. It was a true gift.”
