So give Your servant an understanding mind and a hearing heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and bad. For who is able to judge and rule this Your great people?

Faith In God … p. 66
We speak of having faith in God. And, every now and then, we are saddened to learn of people who have lost their faith.
Is yours a God who, as a result of your earthly behaviour, judges that you be either saved or condemned? Or is yours a disinterested and ever-loving God?
Is faith in God a coat of many colours, designed to fit each of us in his or her own way?
When all is said and done, no matter the God we believe in or how or why our faith is engendered, by a definition common to all, faith in God is a divine sense of knowing that God lives in us and we in Him.
Is it possible that our capacity to lose faith has everything to do with how we view God, as opposed to that ill which may have befallen us in the moment?
Faith in God transcends the workings of the mind. Such faith wells up from within, a product of the soul. It is a life-long journey: one that affirms our true inner spiritual Being.
