And without faith it is impossible to please God... - Heb.11:6
Faith therefore matters to God. It is therefore an everyday call for us to see how much faith we have in Him.
True faith does not show when everything seems ok. It is seen during storm. It is very easy to say "praise God" when every thing is on its right place but when you are not fine and perhaps nothing seems to be positive around you, like you see nothing but problems and troubles, can you still praise Him?
Praising God in the storm is a big challenge. Times of trouble and tests are actually the best moments to praise Him. The faith that we have in Him pleases Him during such times.
By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of Joseph's sons, and worshiped as he leaned on the top of his staff. - Hebrews 11:21
Jacob, even when he was facing death, still had his heart to worship God and bless each of Joseph's sons. Yes, he was still able to worship and bless, while abandoning what he was facing - death. His faith is in God alone even in the end of his time.
All of us should have the faith that Jacob had. Faith that causes blessings and worship to God even when we are facing trials, especially, the final test.
