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."
