“That
the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,
though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory
at the appearance of Jesus Christ.”
1 Pt 1:7
Faith is a path that is journeyed challenging
one to hold a course and direction without wavering until it intersects and
collides with God’s Faithfulness. One must understand that faith is not a step
of completion or achievement they check on a spiritual list of accomplishment; quite
the contrary, faith is to be endured, journeyed and tested through trials for
purification (vs 7). Faith is not fully achieved and/or received until the
promised return of Christ (vs 9). Yet, the value of faith in one’s walk with
God is priceless. Through the trials of
life one who holds their course and holds to God’s promises will encounter collisions
with God faithfulness towards them; that while they may be in heaviness of
manifold temptations, God’s grace delivers a love and peace that sustains the
soul. The endurance of one’s faith in God is fueled by the peace and joy of His
grace and promises. While life at times may look barren and hopeless, stay the
course and look for a collision with God’s faithfulness.
