The Other Side of Faith

Faith in our time has been greatly expressed and propagated as the ability to experience the supernatural to our benefit. When men and women experience great wonders, miracles, financial doors and breakthroughs they seem to state that their faith in the Lord have brought them these breakthroughs which has given them joy in the Lord. But there is another aspect of faith that believers must know and understand. Hebrews 11:35 makes us understand that others were tortured, some wondered in sheep skins and goat skins, destitute, some had trials of mocking and scourging, some were stone and sawn into two. Others slept in caves and dens yet they did not give up. In all these, their faith did not stagger because of their believe and hope in their Savior Lord Jesus Christ. Faith is not always about getting things done to make yourself happy, but also faith is standing firm in times of adversity, failure, disappointments and challenges. These men were mentioned in faith's hall of fame not because of 'great' things they have done but because they suffered for His sake and stood in their love for Christ. Do you lose faith in the Lord in times of failure or disappointments? Love the Lord, Stand Firm in Adversity and Praise Jehovah.....
