This scripture emphasizes the power of faith and the significance of seeking God. Faith is the bridge that connects us with God, the foundation of our intimate relationship with Him, and it guides us towards the path of God’s delight. Faith affirms God’s power and authority, and it relies deeply on His goodness and grace. It is only through unwavering faith that we can overcome the storms of life and step into the grace and blessings that God bestows upon those who seek Him. In faith, we seek God’s will and learn to endure the ups and downs of life. Even in the face of hardships, we firmly believe that God is with us, and we witness His presence in our experiences because we trust that He is a God who rewards those who earnestly seek Him. God says, “When you have faith that you will see His actions in your practical experience, then God will appear to you, and He will enlighten and guide you from within. Without that faith, God will be unable to do that. If you have lost hope in God, how will you be able to experience His work? Therefore, only when you have faith and you do not harbor doubts toward God, only when you have true faith in Him no matter what He does, will He enlighten and illuminate you through your experiences, and only then will you be able to see His actions. These things are all achieved through faith. Faith comes only through refinement, and in the absence of refinement, faith cannot develop. What does this word, ‘faith,’ refer to? Faith is the genuine belief and the sincere heart that humans should possess when they cannot see or touch something, when God’s work does not align with human notions, when it is beyond human reach. This is the faith that I speak of” (The Word, Vol. 1. The Appearance and Work of God. Those Who Are to Be Made Perfect Must Undergo Refinement).

May we constantly seek God’s presence with unwavering faith, and experience His delight and rewards more profoundly, becoming blessed people in His presence. In the radiance of faith, we will see the glory and marvelous deeds of God.

Help us to place our trust in You as our ultimate source of support and assistance, even in the midst of adversity.
