SERVANT LEADERSHIP - The Blue Letter Bible Institute

Servant Leadership – Lesson 3 10
Walking with God by Chuck Smith
cannot understand it and I do not understand it, but I believe it. I believe both sides of the truth,
but I believe by faith, not by understanding, but by faith.
Now faith is believing what I do not understand; reason is understanding what I believe. But faith
is believing, even though I do not understand it. Now God has called me to faith in some areas. I
do not understand where these truths meet or balance, but I believe that they do. I do believe in
what, in my mind, are irreconcilable positions. Now I do not have to understand them to believe
them. I need the faith to believe that God said it, and He definitely said it, so I believe it. And
God is honored by my believing, in faith, that which I do not understand.
Do not try to understand the whole thing. You never will. There are going to be areas that God is
going to deliberately leave unexplained, and you are going to have to just, by faith, believe them
in order that God might be honored by your faith. We will get on into this in our next lesson, as
we look at the blessings that we have in Christ. The spiritual blessings, how glorious they are!
