When Your
Faith Is Tested
“These
are perilous times that try men’s souls.”
This phrase is found in 2 Timothy: 3.
It speaks of the end of times, and yet, trials and troubles of all kinds
assault us as we live our lives. Our
faith gets tested. Or hearts fail
us. Our thoughts quickly turn to despair. And then what?
We
get back to basics. We go back to our
foundational claims of our Christian faith.
“Be not afraid nor
dismayed, for I your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua
1:9
“For with God all things
are possible.”
Matthew
19:26
“I will never leave you
nor forsake you.”
Hebrews
13:5
“The Lord will fight for
you. You need only to stand still.”
Exodus
14:14
I
take great comfort in the word of God at all times, especially in the
difficulties.
We
are in those day even now. Carolyn took
a fall on ice on February 6, and will be out of the game for at least six
weeks. Already, two weeks later, we are
sensing the presence and assurance of God’s faithfulness.
Thanks
be to God.
