Twelfth Day of Fast
Fiḍál (Grace), 12 ‘Alá’ (Loftiness) 174 B.E. - Tuesday, March 13, 2018

"Say: God sufficeth all things above all things, and nothing in the heavens or in the earth or in whatever lieth between them but God, thy Lord, sufficeth. Verily, He is in Himself the Knower, the Sustainer, the Omnipotent."
The Báb1

All-sufficing faith is faith in Baha'u'llah, who is the Manifestation of God for today. The quote is from the writings of The Bab, Baha'u'llah's forerunner, and it emphasizes that one must place one's entire trust in the Manifestation of God, who reflects the divine attributes to humanity. No matter what happens in a person's life, in my life, I know that Baha'u'llah reveals God. The only way to know the Almighty is through is Manifestation. Baha'u'llah is the fulfillment of all the divine prophecies of the past.

the fulfillment of divine prophecies.
