Trust

We should trust God no matter what the outward appearances are. If you remember the story of Abraham then you see the contradiction he was put in. He was told to sacrifice Isaac yet all of God's promises to Abraham lay in the son Isaac. This must have been quite confusing to a man who had waited years for this son and now he was being told he must sacrifice him. It must have grieved him so yet he trusted God and knew that whatever the outcome that God knew best. He obeyed God to the end. God tests us all to prove our faith. Faith is trusting God to provide even when we cannot see how he can.  With true faith we hold nothing back from God. He provides what we need when we need it and intervenes at the right time. "Now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me" (Genesis 22:12).
