Psalms 27:13

Psalms 27:13. I had fainted, unless I had believed -

That is the smelling bottle for a fainting soul: "I had fainted unless I had believed." You must do the one or the other; you must either believe or else faint, but if your faith is strong you cannot faint. O thou who art of feeble faith, it is little of a marvel that thou faintest! Would God that thy faith were stronger! Notice what David says, "Unless I had believed"-

Psalms 27:13. To see -

Some say, "Seeing is believing," but it is not: it is the very opposite of believing. Some people must see in order to believe, but the true followers of our Lord believe to see. If thou wilt believe it, thou shalt see it; but if thou wilt not believe it till thou hast seen it, then thou shalt never believe at all. "I had fainted, unless I had believed to see" -
