We make choices in life with the chronicles of history in our favor. Across the panorama of two thousand years of proof, we gaze backward to the Empty Tomb and judge the matters pertaining to our faith.
Yet our confidence still falters at times as hope dims and determination wavers. Sometimes the glow of the encounter with the Divine has scarce paled from the face of the worshiper when the tempter glides in softly and feathers away with one shred of doubt the bits of rose-colored dust he had mistaken for mountain-moving faith.
Mindful of the fragility of the faith we experience this side of Golgotha, we ought to be the more amazed at the commitment shown by the saints of the Old Testament. For they steadfastly grounded their faith upon the prophesied truths we have the privilege of viewing as facts.
This confidence they had in God — this faith in the absence of proof — can inspire us to set our feet more firmly upon the hills of triumph.
