Faith that is bold

“By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand…” Romans 5:2

“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

We ended yesterday’s meditation with this thought that faith that is not bold is not faith. Let us today look at the characteristics of bold faith which I believe was exemplified in the life of David among

many others. This we can see in the story of 1Samuel 17, since it involves the whole chapter, we will only bring out the verses needed.

The first thing you see about the faith that is bold is that it takes advantage of the opportunity presented to it immediately. It does not put off for tomorrow what it needs to lay hold today. When David came to the battle field and saw what was happening, he did not hide he jumped right into it.

The second thing about bold faith is that it speaks out. David asked what shall be done to the man who kills this uncircumcised philistine who had defied the armies of the living God.

The third thing is that bold faith is not afraid to be heard by other people when it speaks out. David spoke in the hearing of the soldiers until it came to the hearing of King Saul.
