3. We glorify God by Believing; Rom. 4.20. Abraham was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Unbelief affronts God, it gives him the Lye, He that believeth not, maketh God a liar, 1 Joh. 5.10. So Faith brings Glory to God, it sets to its Seal that God is true, Joh. 3.33. he that believes flies to God's Mercy and Truth, as to an Altar of Refuge; he doth Engarrison himself in the Promises, he trusts all he hath with God, Psal. 31.5. Into thy hands I commit my spirit; this is a great way of bringing Glory to God, therefore God honours Faith, because Faith honours God. It is a great Honour we do to a Man when we trust him with all we have, we put our Lives and Estates into his hand; a sign we have a good Opinion of him. The three Children glorified God by believing, The God whom we serve is able to deliver us, and will deliver us, Dan. 3.17. Faith knows there are no Impossibles with God, and will trust him where it cannot trace him.
