Perseverance through Uncertainty

Read an awesome passage last night while thinking about the topic of yesterday's blog post.

1 Peter 1:6-9
"In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 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. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls."

Though we do not see Him now, we believe in Him.  Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.  Seems like a theme of scripture, doesn't it?  God called Abraham to leave his home to a land He would show him.  It doesn't say that God showed Abraham the land, and then he went.  He went by faith that God would show him the land at the right time.

God is showing me that true faith comes from perseverance through uncertainty.
