Faith

 

"When God gives a promise, He always tries our faith. Just as the roots of

 trees take firmer hold when they are contending with the wind, so faith takes

 a firmer hold when it struggles with adverse appearances."
- Robert Murray McCheyne 

 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 appearing of Jesus Christ:

-1 Peter 1:7
