When life is easy, and everything is going well, it's simple to say you have faith. But true faith is shown when things get tough and circumstances don't make sense. Faith isn't just about expecting God to do what we want; it's about trusting His Word, even when we can't see the results right away. The Bible gives us examples of people who trusted God in impossible situations, like walking around the walls of Jericho or feeding two million people in a desert. The real test of faith comes when you're faced with challenges. So, the question is: Do you have that kind of faith?
