1 Peter 1:7 These Have Come So That Your Faith--Of Greater Worth Than Gold, Which Perishes Even Though Refined By Fire--May Be Proved Genuine And May Result In Praise, Glory And Honor When Jesus Christ Is Revealed.

Faith in God is the foundation of our life, especially if we must live in pain. Without faith during our trials, we are cut off and isolated. Being cut off and isolated is unhealthy and for some people, dangerous. Being cut off and isolated can make people believe they have nothing to lose…even believing their life is worthless and without meaning or purpose. In your walk every day with God, remember your walk is to be a walk of the purest faith, even in pain. Being in pain requires you believe in the power of God in spite of what seems to be incredible evidence against believing. We are to be like so many Bible characters of renown who maintained their faith in God in all ways and under all circumstances.
