in the Christian than in the unsaved person. Abraham “ staggered not through unbelief.” Abraham’ s Secret Did Abraham have a secret? We believe he did. And it is a secret we all may know. The outstanding trait o f Abraham’s faith is recorded for us in Romans 4:17. His confidence is here declared to rest in God “Who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.” He, like his God, could speak o f “ non-existent things as though ex isting” (Weymouth). Abraham knew well the language o f faith! Not only did he speak the language o f faith, but he thought in that language. One is proficient only in a language to the extent that he can forget his native tongue and think in the language he seeks to learn. How true in this case! May we forget our native language o f unbelief! Before the battle, God declares, “ I have delivered them into thy hands.” He declares in prophetic certainty, “ Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill o f Zion.” In the language o f our God we are actually to claim a work as finished coincidental with our ask ing! “Whatsoever we ask, we know that we have” (1 John 5 :15 ). Certain ly the manner in which we talk will affect our lives. Harsh criticism may isolate one from his friends; com plaint may bring sourness o f soul; self-pity may weaken a man; foul language or profanity will degrade. Similarly, the language o f faith will make us stable and spiritually strong. Abraham’s secret, then, was the full acceptance o f God at His Word, and reference to His promise in a perfect tense. He refused contrary evidence wherever it raised its head, for he was “ fully persuaded” and strong in faith. How effective all this may be in the practical aspects of our lives! If God has called us to a certain task, we will see it through. We will not stagger at the difficult point. A group can stagger too! Therefore we, as an organization, or a church, will not be disturbed by adverse circumstances. We will remember that God has never warned us against trouble, but o f un belief and spiritual hesitancy. And for this we have Abraham’s secret of power.
