Your Question:
What happens when our faith is tested by chaos and uncertainty?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their faith when faced with chaos and uncertainty. It's natural to wonder if God is still in control when life doesn't seem to be going according to plan. But the truth is, our faith is not based on our circumstances, but on the character of God. When we establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love, we can have mental composure, even in the midst of turmoil. When our faith is tested, it's not because God is absent or unresponsive, but because we need to trust Him more deeply. Jesus Himself faced uncertainty and doubt, yet He remained faithful to the Father. As believers, we must learn to throw ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God, just as He has thrown His all into us through Jesus Christ. This is the supreme effort of our lives, and it's what enables us to trust God even when everything around us seems to contradict our faith. In times of crisis, it's easy to compare our faith to others or to doubt our own ability to trust God. But the Bible reminds us that our faith is not about comparing ourselves to others, but about running with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus as our example. When we fix our eyes on Him, we'll find the strength to endure the trials of our faith and to trust God even when everything seems uncertain.
