Your Question:
What happens when faith is tested by chaos?
Answer:
When faith is tested by chaos, it's not that we doubt God's existence or ability to come to our rescue, but rather we may not understand why He's allowing us to go through a difficult time. As the Bible says, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" (John 11:40). Our faith is not about common sense, but about trusting in God's promises, even when circumstances contradict them. The test of faith is not about finding it difficult to trust God, but about proving His character as trustworthy in our own minds. As the Bible teaches, faith must be tested, because it can only become our intimate possession through conflict. This is where our faith is truly exercised, and we learn to trust God even when things don't go smoothly. It's a crucible where we're forced to exercise our faith, and it's in these moments that we discover the true depths of our trust in God. In the midst of chaos, it's essential to remember that faith is not about having all the answers, but about trusting in God's character. As Psalm 62:12 says, "God has spoken once, twice I have heard this: that power belongs to God." When we establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love, we gain the mental composure to face any challenge that comes our way. And it's in these moments that we can say with confidence, "I will not be shaken; I will not be terrified; I will not be dismayed, for the Lord my God is with me" (Psalm 118:6).
