Psalm 74 - Faith has an exit from visible things

AELW 10:440

"For faith does not put up evident things, but rather things that do not appear. Nor does it put them up at the entrance from above, but at the entrance from below, or at the exit from below. Note that there is a remarkable agreement in the words. Faith has an exit from visible things and an entrance to the invisible things above, and therefore it is the sign or signs of things that do not appear. Unbelief, on the other hand, has an exit from invisible things and an entrance to visible things from above. That is, the spirit through humility leads upward from the letter and the flesh, while unbelief through pride leads downward from the spirit."
