Your Question:
What happens when faith is tested by chaos?
Answer:
When faith is tested by chaos, it's a natural part of the journey. Jesus Himself wondered why God had forsaken Him, but that didn't mean He doubted God's existence or ability to come to His rescue. It's in these moments of uncertainty that our faith is truly put to the test. We must learn to trust not in common sense, but in the promises of God. Faith is not about having all the answers or understanding everything that's happening. It's about establishing ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love. When disaster strikes, and we lack the mental composure to understand what God is doing, that's when faith must kick in. It's the supreme effort of our lives, throwing ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God. As Pastor of our local evangelical church, I've seen many people struggle with this very thing. In times of chaos, it's easy to lose sight of God's character and trustworthiness. But that's when we must remember that faith is not about avoiding trials, but about persevering through them. As the Bible says, "Faith must be tested, because it can only become your intimate possession through conflict." (Philippians 4:19) It's in these moments that our faith is refined, and we come to understand God's character more deeply.
