Gods Word gives us examples of faith in the
fire, faith in the flood, faith when
outnumbered by the enemy, faith when facing an
indomitable foe, faith in prison, faith during
torture, faith when destitute, hungry, and
thirsty, faith on stormy seas, faith to lose
everything and faith to receive it all back
again, faith to procreate though infertile, and
faith to die. Every instance of faith thus
described is manifested in adversity or great
need. To find examples in Scripture of faith
operating in a peaceful and bountiful climate
would be a difficult task. Im not sure
there are any at all.
Remember, the destiny
of Christ was a cross. Our destiny is also a
cross. Only when we accept that destiny, will
we understand. Newness of life has its birth
and growing pains. But the heart of a believer
in Jesus Christ holds this proverb by its
roots:
For I reckon that the sufferings of this
present time are not worthy to be compared with
the glory which shall be revealed in us.
(Romans 8:18)
In the meantime, let us not grow weary of the
trials and tribulations of this life, knowing
that God is doing His work within us for His
glory: But he knoweth the way that I take:
when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as
gold. (Job 23:10)
Do you have End Times
faith that will see you through hardship and
pain, the kind of faith where you can persevere
because you see Jesus on the other side?
