When life is straightforward, and all the things goes well, it’s easy to say you will have faith. But true faith is shown when things get tough and circumstances don’t make sense. Faith is not just about expecting God to do what we would like; it’s about trusting His Word, even when we will not see the outcomes immediately. The Bible gives us examples of people that trusted God in inconceivable situations, like walking across the partitions of Jericho or feeding two million people in a desert. The real test of religion comes once you’re faced with challenges. So, the query is: Do you will have that form of faith?
