Only genuine faith survives when tested

And Israel saw the great work which the Lord did upon the Egyptians: and the people feared the Lord, and believed the Lord, and his servant Moses. Exodus 14:31.
The voices of the people rang out over the waters of the Red Sea in glorious triumph. _But soon their faith was tested.
They went three days' journey into the wilderness and found no water. "And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter."... "The people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink?"
So people act in this generation. _Satan's plan of temptation is always the same.
While everything moves prosperously, people think that they have faith. But when suffering, disaster, or disappointment comes, they lose heart.
In his trouble Moses cried to the Lord. What do you do when you are faced with critical challenges? Who do you look upon for help? Who do you blame for the challenges? Do you realise it's your test for faith or you despair.
A faith that is dependent on circumstances or surroundings, that lives only when everything goes smoothly, is not a genuine faith.
When trial comes to prove us, when we cannot see an increase of prosperity and comfort before us ... We ought to gather up the fragments of heaven's blessings and tokens for good, saying, Lord, I believe in Thee, in Thy servants, and in Thy work. I will trust in Thee.
Be Blessed!
