It is vitally important that we realize the difference between the developing of faith and the developing of patience. Faith should be developed on the WORD OF GOD before the trial or testing comes. In Luke 6:47-48, Jesus said that a man who ACTS ON HIS WORDS (not just reads) is like someone who builds his house on a rock. When the floods beat on that house (and the storms of life will come) THE HOUSE DOES NOT FALL! Notice though the man has to dig deep. This is where his faith is developed. His patience is developed during the storm. He knows his house will stand because it’s built on a rock. Remember, Jesus says the man builds on that rock. He acts on the Word. His faith is developed BEFORE the trial comes. The force of patience is developed IN the trial or tribulation and undergirds, or keeps the door open, for faith to work and to overcome whatever is put before it. James 1:22 “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”
