One of the toughest times in my life occurred the first year my husband joined the Navy back in 2001. Within a six month period both he and our middle son deployed, my father died, I had to move by myself from one rental house to another, and my mother-in-law was hospitalized and came very close to dying. I can remember crying out to God to please spare her as I just didn’t think I could handle one more thing. My husband had missed my father’s funeral. Could he bear the loss of his mother while at sea? My faith was definitely tested, but God in His great mercy gave me the grace to get through each and every trial. Was it easy? No. But through it all I would learn that my God is, in fact, big enough to get me through whatever comes my way.
How is your faith doing? Are you showing by your actions and deeds that it is more than just facts and head knowledge? When a crisis hits, what sustains you?
Living by faith is a moment by moment choice to either act upon or ignore what we know and believe about God and His word. Here are some truths to learn and practice to help keep your faith vital when being tested.
An active faith requires action – choose to believe and obey God regardless of what you see or feel.
Choosing to act,
Beverly
