It is easy to say that we trust a rope only when we need it to tie things up. But to trust a rope when we have to hold onto it while hanging on a cliff is an entirely different thing.
Until our faith is challenged, we can never know the depth of its reality to us.
Perhaps this is why the journey of faith is always referred to as a "step" – it requires us to take a step outside of ourselves or the things that we can control. To trust with abandonment.
It demands that we place ourselves in vulnerable, uneasy, and unknown situations.
Without discomfort, without embracing the unfamiliar and uncertain, then it is no faith at all.
