Faith requires we put to the test, indeed in order for faith to mature it needs situtations where faith alone can sustain us.
Faith arises in the glaring face of negative realties no matter how intense it is, therein one may be well molded. This is the faith that touches God's heart or pleases him.
In the added paper on maturity stagnation is dealt with to great a degree, is just that or the need to vanquish the faithlessness by putting yourself in the impossible, faith is the spiritual substance of things hoped for evidence of things not seen, Not just knowing the doctrine, but to live by faith.
In our reach often at night the sight is min or totally gone, things happen mighty fast in rough situtations it is there the real fruit is born not by dodging but by embracing the impossible often leads ot the faith abounding. As it loving that which far removed from personal expectation in unwelcome events. Though fear may be present it may be overocme by faith, nor is doubt productive.
Take care.
