The power of God is made manifest in the weakness of man.
When we are strong, healthy, rich, secure - we have very little need for prayer, fasting, God.
But when we are desperate, hungry, then we seek God.
That is not to say we should seek bad times, or wish for bad things to happen to us.
But when we run out of ideas, when we have our backs to the Red Sea, and the enemy is pressing against us - then is there an opportunity for God to respond with a miracle.
Or not.
There are countless number of Christian martyrs not to mention the vast number of people who suffered and did not receive help in this lifetime.
It is this fear that troubles me.That there will be a trial so painful that it leads to death and suffering. And that is why people continue to put their faith and trust in cash, property, a steady job, gold. Things we can feel and touch and can save us in this real world.
