Your Question:
What happens when our faith is tested by uncertainty and chaos in a world of conflicting values?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with their faith when faced with uncertainty and chaos in a world of conflicting values. It's natural to feel uncertain and doubt God's presence when life doesn't go as planned. Even Jesus, in His time of need, felt forsaken by God, but He didn't doubt God's existence or ability. Instead, He was surprised by the feeling of abandonment. Faith is not about having all the answers or being in control; it's about trusting in God's holy love, even when circumstances contradict our understanding. It's about throwing ourselves with abandon and total confidence upon God, just as He ventured His all in Jesus Christ to save us. When we establish ourselves on the eternal truth that God is holy love, we can develop mental composure and trust in His goodness, even in the midst of chaos. In times of crisis, faith can be our greatest comfort. It's the assurance that we can never be separated from God's love, and that He is working everything out for our good. As Jesus said, "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 comparing ourselves to others, but about running with endurance the race set before us, looking unto Jesus as our example.
