Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.
Dwight L. MoodyRead
My walk on the moon lasted three days. My walk with God will last forever.
Interpretation
The quote emphasizes the eternal significance of spiritual life over temporary earthly experiences.
Charles Duke reflects on his incredible experience of walking on the moon for three days, yet he underscores that his spiritual journey and relationship with God are far more substantial and enduring. This contrast highlights the futility of earthly achievements when compared to the endless nature of faith and spirituality.
In practice
This quote can be shared at a church gathering to inspire faith among congregation members.
Our Faith must be tested. God builds no ships but what He sends to sea.
But it is in storms that God does his finest work, for it is in storms that God has our keenest attention
A faith that can be destroyed by suffering is not faith.
The issue for us is trusting God enough to trust also His timing. If we can truly believe He has our welfare at heart, may we not let His plans unfold as He thinks best?
Our faith is concentrated in the Son of God, and through him in the Father; and the Holy Ghost is their minister to bring truths to our remembrance, to reveal new truths to us, and teach, guide, and direct the course of every mind, until we become perfected and prepared to go home, where we can see and converse with our Father in Heaven.
Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
