“To be a soul winner is he happiest thing in the world.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“Sorrow looks back. Worry looks around. Faith looks up,” is a popular Church sign. I know that it has been used twice somewhere.

I looked up “sorrow, worry” and “faith” in The Collins Concise Dictionary.

“SORROW” is a feeling of sadness, grief and regret.

“WORRY” is to be anxious and uneasy. It disturbs the peace of mind.

“FAITH”  in Christianity means trust in God, his actions and promises. It means also strong belief in something without proof.

Charlotte Bronte says, “I avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.”

Reading “Your word is the only thing you must keep after you give it to someone,” (Coffee News, Vol 201:3), reminded me of the Word God has given us  and his promises.

Here are some prayer promises:

Mark 11:24: “THEREFORE I TELL YOU, WHATEVER YOU ASK FOR IN PRAYER, BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT, AND IT WILL BE YOURS.”

The Lord Jesus Christ is keeping his Word, his promises. What an encouragement for his followers to keep their word also.
