Faith is essential in difficult times because it allows us to trust God's character and His promises, even when circumstances are unclear.
In times of trial, our understanding often fails us, and we may be tempted to question God's purposes. However, the call of Scripture is to live by faith and not by sight. Faith reassures us that God's plans, though sometimes inscrutable, are ultimately designed for our good and His glory (2 Corinthians 5:7). As we navigate through afflictions, faith enables us to cling to the truth of God's unchanging nature and the hope found in our redemption. By trusting Him, we acknowledge that He is the divine potter shaping us for His purpose, even when the process is painful.
