Corinthians 13:5; Examine yourselves, whether you be in the faith; prove your own selves.
The things of the World can sometimes draw us away from the Lord and make our faith dwindle. When we face calamities and misfortunes and we wonder if the Lord is truly alive and is allowing all this to happen to us.
Some even say the Lord is deliberately causing them harm and misfortunes, perhaps for some wrong doing in their past lives or that the Lord is punishing them for the live before they knew Christ. If you happen to fall in this category then we need re-examination of faith.
Do you remember when the Devil went to the Lord to be allowed to test Job? Cast your mind there and keep in mind that the Lord bring good and never evil, the Lord loves and not hate, the Lord protects and not cause harm, all that is good, all that is well and blessed is from the Lord and not the other way round.
So look deep into yourself again, and regrow your faith in the lord, pray for strength to overcome the ways of this World. May the Lord continue to strengthen us in faith and in his Word lest we fall.
