The Eye of Faith
by Ron Rhodes
Shrouded in a dense fog, a large steamer edged slowly forward off the coast
of Newfoundland, its foghorn crying out somber notes of warning. The
captain - near exhaustion from lack of sleep - was startled by a gentle tap
on his shoulder. He turned and found himself face-to-face with an old man in
his late seventies.
The old man said, "Captain, I have come to tell you that I must be in Quebec
on Saturday afternoon." (It was then Wednesday). The captain pondered for a
moment, and then snorted: "Impossible." "Very well," the old man responded,
"if your ship can't take me, God will find some other means to take me. I
have never broken an engagement in fifty-seven years."
Lifting his weary hands in a gesture of despair, the captain replied, "I
would help if I could - but I am helpless." Undaunted, the old man
suggested, "Let's go down to the chart room and pray." The captain raised
his eyebrows in utter disbelief, looking at the old man as if he had just
escaped from a lunatic asylum. "Do you know how dense the fog is?" the
captain demanded. The old man responded, "No, my eye is not on the thickness
of the fog but on the living God who controls every circumstance of my
life."
Against his better judgment, the captain accompanied the old man to the
chart room and kneeled with him in prayer. With simple words a child might
use, the old man prayed: "O Lord, if it is consistent with thy will, please
remove this fog in five minutes. Thou knowest the engagement thou didst make
for me in Quebec on Saturday. I believe it is thy will."
The captain, a nominal Christian at best, thought it wise to humor the old
man and recite a short prayer. But before he was able to utter a single
word, he felt a tap on his shoulder. The old man requested, "Don't pray,
because you do not believe; and as I believe God has already answered, there
is no need for you to pray." The captain's mouth dropped open. Then the old
man explained: "Captain I have known my Lord for fifty-seven years and there
has never been a single day that I have failed to gain an audience with the
King. Get up, captain, and open the door, and you will find the fog is
gone." The captain did as he was requested, and was astonished to find that
the fog had indeed disappeared.
The captain later testified that his encounter with the aged George Muller
completely revolutionized his Christian life. He had seen with his own eyes
that Muller's God was the true and living God of the Bible. He had seen
incredible power flow from a frail old man. . . a power rooted in simple
childlike faith in God.1
Ray Stedman once delivered a sermon on Jeremiah in which he said: "Faith has
an apparent ridiculousness about it. You are not acting by faith if you are
doing what everyone around you is doing. Faith always appears to defy the
circumstances. It constitutes a risk and a venture."2
This is the kind of faith George Muller demonstrated decade after decade in
his long and fruitful life. During the final year of his earthly sojourn, he
wrote that his faith had been increasing over the years little by little,
but he emphatically insisted that there was nothing unique about him or his
faith. He believed that a life of trust was open to virtually all of God's
children if only they would endure when trials came instead of giving up. It
was this kind of faith that enabled Muller to enjoy the Lord on a non-stop
basis, regardless of the punches life threw his way.
Perceiving Unseen Realities
Scientists tell us that the earth is spinning on its axis at a speed of over
1000 miles per hour at this very moment. Yet we have no sensation of motion.
At the same time, the earth is rotating around the sun at a speed of 66,000
miles per hour. Do you feel anything? The earth is moving at an incredible
speed but we do not perceive it. Einstein made this point by striking two
consecutive blows with his fist and saying, "Between those two strokes, we
traveled thirty miles." Incredible motion with no perception! Yet we accept
by faith that it is nevertheless true.
The Apostle Paul defines faith as "being sure of what we hope for and
certain of what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). I like John Wesley's
paraphrase of this verse: "[Faith] is the power to see into the world of
spirits, into things invisible and eternal. It is the power to understand
those things which are not perceived by worldly senses."3
Of course, the big problem for most of us is that we tend to base everything
on what our five senses tell us. And since the spiritual world is not
subject to any of these, our faith is often weak and impotent. A. W. Tozer
analyzes the problem this way: "The world of sense intrudes upon our
attention day and night for the whole of our lifetime. It is clamorous,
insistent and self-demonstrating. It does not appeal to our faith; it is
here, assaulting our five senses, demanding to be accepted as real and
final. But sin has so clouded the lenses of our hearts that we cannot see
that other reality, the City of God, shining around us. The world of sense
triumphs."4
The eye of faith, however, perceives this unseen reality. Tozer is right
when he says that "a spiritual kingdom lies all about us, enclosing us,
embracing us, altogether within reach of our inner selves, waiting for us to
recognize it. God Himself is here waiting our response to His Presence. This
eternal world will come alive to us the moment we begin to reckon upon its
reality."5
Do you remember the story of Elisha in 2 Kings 6:8-23? Elisha found himself
in a situation where he was completely surrounded by enemy troops, yet he
remained calm and relaxed. His servant, however, must have been climbing the
walls at the sight of this hostile army with vicious-looking warriors and
innumerable battle-chariots on every side.
Undaunted, Elisha said to him: "Don't be afraid. Those who are with us are
more than those who are with them" (2 Kings 6:16). Elisha then prayed to
God, "'O Lord, open his eyes so he may see.' Then the Lord opened the
servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots
of fire all around Elisha" (2 Kings 6:17). God was protecting Elisha and his
servant with a whole army of magnificent angelic beings!
The reason Elisha never let his feathers get ruffled was because he was
"sure of what he hoped for and certain of what he did not see" (cf. Hebrews
11:1). Unlike many Christians today, Elisha was not a slave to the visible
and the tangible.
George Muller was a man after Elisha's own heart. As his autobiography
informs us, he had many orphans under his care; too many - in fact - for one
man to financially support without God's intervention. At the orphanage one
morning the tables were all set for breakfast, but the cupboard was
completely bare. There was no food! And there was no money! The children
were all standing around waiting for their breakfasts, and Mr. Muller said
to them, "Children, you know we must be in time for school." He then lifted
his head and prayed, "Dear Father, we thank Thee for what Thou art going to
give us to eat."
Almost immediately after this, there was a knock at the door. It was a local
baker who said, "Mr. Muller, I could not sleep last night. Somehow I felt
you didn't have any bread for breakfast, and the Lord wanted me to send you
some. So I got up at 2:00 am and baked some fresh bread and here it is." Mr.
Muller humbly thanked the baker and then offered praise to God for providing
so miraculously for him and the orphans.
Moments later there was a second knock at the door. It was the local milkman
whose milk wagon had just broken down in front of Muller's orphanage. He
offered all his milk to Muller and the orphans so he could have his wagon
hauled to the nearest repair shop.6 Coincidence? No way!
Muller had a simple, childlike faith in a living God. He knew beyond any
doubt that an unseen spiritual world existed around him. And in spite of
what his physical senses told him (i.e., no food and no money), he was
confident that God could be trusted for all of his temporal needs.
Hope: The Fuel of Faith
Paul tells us that faith involves "being sure of what we hope for" (Hebrews
11:1). In his classic Institutes of the Christian Religion, John Calvin
delineates for us how hope relates to faith: "Hope refreshes faith, that it
may not become weary. It sustains faith to the final goal, that it may not
fail in midcourse, or even at the starting gate. In short, by unremitting
renewing and restoring, it invigorates faith again and again with
perseverance."7
One of my favorite Old Testament characters is Moses. His life illustrates
how hope can feed and sustain faith: "By faith Moses, when he had grown up,
refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be
mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures
of sin for a short time. He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of
greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to
his reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he
persevered because he saw him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:24-27).
Moses could have had immeasurable power, authority, and riches if he had
chosen to stay in Egypt. Yet he gave it all up because of his faith in God.
And his faith was nourished by his hope of a future reward, a hope which
gave him an eternal perspective on life.
Was this kind of hope characteristic of George Muller's faith? I am sure of
it! I recently discovered that after Muller's death, his son-in-law and
successor in the ministry - James Wright - disclosed that "the mysterious
name of a generous donor which had appeared on the Annual Reports for many
years as 'from a servant of the Lord Jesus who, constrained by the love of
Christ, seeks to lay up treasures in heaven,' was none other than George
Muller himself."8 Muller's future hope had fanned his faith into a flame! Do
you have a hope?
Faith in God Alone
Faith is only as good as the object of that faith. The story is told of a
small boy in England who was asked by a scientist to allow himself to be
lowered down the side of a cliff by a rope in order to recover some
important specimens. "We will pay a lot of money," said the scientist. But
the boy replied that he wasn't interested. The scientist was persistent,
however, and finally persuaded the boy to do it. But only on one condition:
that his father would be the one to hold the ropes by which he would be
lowered. He felt safe going down the side of the cliff because the object of
his faith was his own father who had never let him down.
Recall with me the story of David and Goliath. To the eye of sense David had
no earthly chance of conquering the mighty giant who had been arrogantly
defying the armies of Israel. But David, looking at the situation through
the eye of faith, could perceive the unseen divine forces that were fighting
on his side.
Saul - who was blind to all of this - warned David: "You are not able to go
out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a boy, and he has
been a fighting man from his youth" (1 Samuel 17:33). But David asserted,
"The Lord who delivered me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear
will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine" (1 Samuel 17:37). Then
when David came face-to-face with the giant warrior, he declared: "This day
the Lord will hand you over to me, and I'll strike you down. . . the battle
is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands" (1 Samuel
17:46-47).
And the rest is history. Goliath lost the fight before it had even begun.
Why? Because the object of David's faith was a mighty God who once declared:
"Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is anything too difficult for
me?" (Jeremiah 32:27). The object of David's faith spelled D-E-F-E-A-T for
Goliath.
In his book The Pursuit of God, A. W. Tozer commented: "Like the eye which
sees everything in front of it and never sees itself, faith is occupied with
the Object upon which it rests and pays no attention to itself at all. While
we are looking at God we do not see ourselves - blessed riddance."9 This was
David's secret. He payed no attention to his own weakness and inability. His
eye of faith was solely on his Deliverer.
This was also Hudson Taylor's secret. I recall that he once set sail from
Liverpool to China on a small sailing-ship, the "Dumfries." When sailing to
the north of New Guinea, the captain of the Dumfries discovered that
although a breeze would usually spring up after sundown and last until dawn,
there was rarely any wind during the daylight hours. Not exactly what you
would call ideal sailing conditions!
On one particular day, the captain became noticeably anxious, and when
Hudson asked what was bothering him, he explained that a strong undercurrent
was pulling them towards some sunken reefs. To make matters worse, there was
no wind to give them the power to withstand the undercurrent. All they could
do, said the captain, was to wait for the inevitable to happen. "No,"
replied young Hudson, "there is one thing we have not done yet - we have not
prayed."10
There were three other spirit-filled believers aboard the ship, and Hudson
suggested that each of them retire to their cabins and pray for a breeze.
Hudson had prayed for just a few minutes when he gained assurance that their
prayers were answered. "Without further ado he went up on deck and asked the
first officer ( a rank unbeliever) to set the sail to catch the coming wind.
The man nearly exploded at such an apparently ridiculous suggestion -
especially coming from this stripling of a landlubber, who, to cap this
farcical nonsense, was religious."11 Yet Hudson persuaded him to give it a
try. With a curse in his mouth and contempt in his eyes, the first officer
gave the order and his men jumped to obey.
At that moment, the captain came on deck to see what all the commotion was
about. And he witnessed God's response to Taylor's faith. "No sooner was the
sail set than the prayer-answering breeze filled it and the ship was soon
pulling away from the reef to the safety of the open sea."12
Taylor's attention was not on the weakness and inability of puny man. His
attention was not on uncontrollable circumstances like the strong
undercurrent and lack of wind. The object of his faith was the all-powerful
God of the Bible. Taylor believed; God responded!
Conditioning the Faith Muscle
I've always been taught that faith is like a muscle. A muscle has to be
repeatedly stretched to its limit of endurance in order to build more
strength. Without increased stress in training, the muscle will simply not
grow. In the same way, faith must be repeatedly tested to the limit of its
endurance in order to expand and develop. Very often, God allows His
children to go through trying experiences in order to develop this muscle.
George Muller put it this way: "God delights to increase the faith [or
condition the faith-muscle] of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no
trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them
from God's hand as a means. I say - and say it deliberately - trials,
obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats, are the very food of
faith."13
This principle is beautifully illustrated in the book of Exodus. Following
Israel's deliverance from Egypt, God first led them to Marah - a place where
they would have to trust God to heal the water to make it drinkable - before
leading them to Elim, a gorgeous oasis with plenty of good water (Exodus
15:22-27). The important thing to observe is that God could have bypassed
Marah altogether and brought them directly to Elim if He had wanted to.
But - as is characteristic of God - He purposefully led them through the
route which would yield maximum conditioning of their faith-muscles.
God also allows His children to confront obstacles and difficulties in order
to prove His sufficiency when they dare to flex their faith-muscles. F. B.
Meyer suggests that "very often God allows our helplessness and failure to
become extraordinarily acute in order that His grace may have a larger
opportunity."14
This is illustrated for us in the historical account in 2 Chronicles 20
where the Moabites and Ammonites came to make war on Jehoshaphat. In his
prayer to God, Jehoshaphat said: "we have no power to face this vast army
that is attacking us. We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you"
(2 Chronicles 20:12).
Jehoshaphat was helpless in the face of what seemed to the physical eye to
be sure defeat. Yet his eye of faith was not on the problem but on God. The
result? God promised: "Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast
army. For the battle is not yours, but God's.. . . You will not have to
fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the
deliverance the Lord will give you. . . Do not be afraid; do not be
discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the Lord will be with you" (2
Chronicles 20:15-17).
The rest is history. The Moabites and Ammonites were completely destroyed
the following day. God purposefully allowed this situation to develop so
that He could demonstrate His sufficiency to Jehoshaphat. And as a result of
this event, Jehoshaphat's faith-muscle became even stronger.
I can't help but think of how God used this same basic strategy with Jim and
Elisabeth Elliot. Elisabeth had been feeling quite ill for a time and went
to see a doctor. Following her doctor visit, she recalls: "We were informed
that, according to X-rays, I had an active case of tuberculosis. Knowing as
well as Jim did that he was called to the Indians of the jungle, I felt that
this news spelled the cancellation of our marriage plans, for, even if I
should recover, life in the jungle would not be recommended."15
But Jim's attitude was unchanged. "If I had any plans," he wrote in his
journal, "they are not changed. I will marry her in God's time, and it will
be the very best for us, even if it means waiting years. God has not led us
this far to frustrate us or turn us back, and He knows all about how to
handle T.B."16
"According to your faith be it unto you," Elisabeth later exulted. "Jim's
[faith] was rewarded - a week's further tests showed nothing whatever wrong
with my lung."17 God seemingly allowed this event to transpire in order to
demonstrate His sufficiency to Jim and Elisabeth Elliot. Jim flexed his
faith-muscle; God moved into action.
Faith and the Word of God
John Calvin once said that "we must be reminded that there is a permanent
relationship between faith and the Word. [God] could not separate one from
the other any more than we could separate the rays from the sun from which
they come."18 Calvin assures his readers that God's Word "is the basis
whereby faith is supported and sustained; if it turns away from the Word, it
falls. Therefore, take away the Word and no faith will then remain."19
Calvin recognized that the New Testament writers were adamant on this issue.
John's Gospel tells us that "these things have been written that you may
believe. . ." (John 20:31). Paul tells us that "faith comes from hearing the
message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ" (Romans
10:17). If someone should ask, "How can I increase my faith?" the answer is:
SATURATE YOUR MIND WITH GOD'S WORD.
We have looked at several inspiring examples of how George Muller's faith
reaped incredible results. It is no surprise that Muller sees a cause and
effect relationship between the Word of God and faith. Based on what he has
learned over the years, he offers two pieces of advice for Christians who
want to see powerful results from their faith.
First, since true faith is solidly anchored upon Scriptural facts, we must
not allow ourselves to be influenced by impressions. "Impressions have
neither one thing nor the other to do with faith," says Muller. "Faith has
to do with the Word of God. It is not impressions, strong or weak, which
will make the difference. We have to do with the Written Word and not
ourselves or impressions."20
And second, we must beware of letting probabilities hinder our faith. Muller
warns: "Many people are willing to believe regarding those things that seem
probable to them. Faith has nothing to do with probabilities. The province
of faith begins where probabilities cease and sight and sense fail.
Appearances are not to be taken into account. The question is - whether God
has spoken it in His Word."21
So what does all of this boil down to? Perhaps Miles Stanford sums it up
best when he says that "there can be no steadfastness [in faith] apart from
immovable facts."22 And these "immovable facts" are found in God's
unchanging Word. Regardless of how impressions and probabilities
relentlessly assault the physical eye, the immovable facts contained in
Scripture keep the eye of faith in proper focus.
Mark it down! Without a regular feeding on God's Word, your faith will
shrivel up like a dead leaf and blow away in the wind of adversity.
The Faith-Joy Connection
Those who have been mightily used by God down through the centuries have
consistently testified to the close connection between faith and joy. Martin
Luther said that "a Christian who possesses faith in God does everything
with liberty and joy; while the man who is not at one with God is full of
care and kept in bondage."23 John Wesley commented that "with faith comes. .
.. the fulfillment of the promise of holiness and happiness."24 German writer
Erich Sauer proclaimed that "holy joy, heavenly nature, and everlasting
glory is our blessed lot where faith in the Crucified One is the true
possession of our heart and the center of our life."25 Missionary Jim Elliot
wrote in his journal that "joy and peace can only come in believing."26 The
verdict is unanimous: the life of faith is a life of joy.
Of course, this should not surprise us since it is the clear teaching of
Scripture. When Paul and Silas were thrown in jail in Philippi, for example,
they sang praises to God as they flexed their faith-muscles. They even
managed to lead the jailer to faith in Christ, after which "the jailer
brought them into his house and sat a meal before them; he was filled with
joy because he had come to believe in God - he and his whole family" (Acts
16:34).
Paul later prayed that this kind of joy would be a reality in the lives of
the Roman Christians: "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace
as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the
Holy Spirit" (Romans 15:13).
Some time after this, Paul assured the Philippian believers: "I know that I
shall remain and stay by you all, to promote your progress and joy in
believing" (Philippians 1:25). Paul apparently considered faith and joy
inseparable!
John Bunyan, one of the most influential authors of the seventeenth century,
was convinced that Paul was right on target. Bunyan had been unfairly
imprisoned for twelve years for preaching God's Word. Declining to be freed
on the condition that he no longer preach, his famous reply was: "If I am
freed today I will preach tomorrow."27 It was during his long imprisonment
that he wrote his classic book Pilgrim's Progress.
Among the virtuous characters in this allegorical book are Christian,
Faithful, Goodwill, Evangelist, and Charity. Less virtuous characters
include Worldly, Formalist, Hypocrisy, Timorous, Ignorance, and Great
Despair. At an important juncture in the book, Faithful made the statement
that "according to the strength of one's faith in Him [God], one will have
joy and peace."28 Faithful's statement is no doubt a reflection of what John
Bunyan had discovered to be true in his own experience - even when he was in
jail. The faith-life is a joyful life.
How is it with you? Is your joy in life 'running on empty'? If so, why not
take to heart the advice of Hannah Whitall Smith, who in 1870 wrote: "Trust
in Him now for everything, and see if He does not do for you exceeding
abundantly, above all that you could ever have asked or even thought, not
according to your power or capacity, but according to His own mighty power,
working in you all the good pleasure of His most blessed will."29 Selah!
