"Why have you dealt ill with your servant?" Numbers 11:11
Spurgeon says, " Our heavenly Father sends us frequent trouble to test our faith. If our faith is worth anything, it will stand the test. Gilt [superficial brilliance or shine] is afraid of fire, but gold is not: The imitation gem dreads being touched by the diamond, but the true jewel fears no test. It is a poor faith that can only trust God when friends are true, the body is healthy, and the business profitable; but it is true faith that rests in the Lord's faithfulness when friends are gone, the body is ailing, spirits are depressed, and the light of our Father's face is hidden. A faith that can say, in deepest trouble, 'Though he slay me, I will hope in Him' is a heaven-born faith."
Lord, create a true faith in me!!
