The Trial of our Faith

New faith and the "faith of a musterd seed" is a joy, because it is not too demanding of us. There are times, however, that the Lord allows the bottom to fall out of our life of experience. It is then that we ask is this discipline or a trial of my faith? The correct response is to trust God even if blessing does not flow from your belief. It is the a matter of fact attitude that we confess we are dead apart from Him so even if He travels away from me, there I will be also.
