I'll keep this short when we don't understand the circumstances surrounding us, when the world seems to be falling apart, when our enemies are gathered at the gate, when the people have rejected God and mocked those who came in his name, when sin is more desirable among the masses than holiness, when the cupboards are bare, when the sun has scorched the crops, when the bank balance is in the red, when we find ourselves overwhelmed by trembling and weak knees. Then. Right then, we faithful followers of Christ will "live by faith" and rejoice in the Lord. We will celebrate the God of our salvation.
