Faith is not a celebration of God's mercies in the absence of suffering, rather it's knowing who God is in and through the crises of your life. God did not save Daniel from the Lion's den. He kept him safe in the den. Similarly, God didn't keep the young Hebrews from the furnace, but protected them amidst the flames.

Likewise, He'll lead you to the sea and allow the storm to hit your boat, but ultimately you'll see and know the One who calms the storm - and that is faith. In other words, faith is knowing that your God is the God of the crisis as well. Yes, the winds and the waves that threaten you obey His voice.
