Rhonda,
Hmm. Maybe not, perfectly faithful no, but not faithful at all? I don't
think that is it either. I think Proverbs seen below shows were we ought
to be. I wonder if we can faithfully believe in the promise given at the
end of the text constantly. It does however say that we will have no need
to "fear" and doesn't say we are absolved of trials, yet he does say
earlier that he'll keep us safe. See below... interesting... I never
really seen it that strongly before.
Proverbs 1:20-33
20 Wisdom calls aloud in the street,she raises her voice in the public
squares; 21 at the head of the noisy streets she cries out,in the gateways
of the city she makes her speech:
22 "How long will you simple ones love your simple ways?How long will
mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge? 23 If you had
responded to my rebuke,I would have poured out my heart to you and made my
thoughts known to you. 24 But since you rejected me when I called and no
one gave heed when I stretched out my hand, 25 since you ignored all my
advice and would not accept my rebuke, 26 I in turn will laugh at your
disaster;I will mock when calamity overtakes you-- 27 when calamity
overtakes you like a storm,when disaster sweeps over you like a
whirlwind,when distress and trouble overwhelm you.
28 "Then they will call to me but I will not answer;they will look for me
but will not find me. 29 Since they hated knowledge and did not choose to
fear the LORD, 30 since they would not accept my advice and spurned my
rebuke, 31 they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the
fruit of their schemes. 32 For the waywardness of the simple will kill
them,and the complacency of fools will destroy them; 33 but whoever
listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm."
