I'm reading through a book called Prayer and the Knowledge of God written by Graeme Goldsworthy. So from time to time I may post some of his thoughts that have been thought provoking and encouraging for me.
Biblical faith can be illustrated by considering the faith we need when about to drive a vehicle across a rickety-looking bridge. We would not ask, 'Have I got enough faith?' Rather the appropriate question is, 'Can this bridge take the load?' Once we can answer in the affirmative, the question about faith vanishes . . . When faith is lacking the antidote is not introspective self-examination but contemplation of the object of our faith: Jesus the Lord, our sufficient Savior.
