Daily GemsUnshakable Faith---------------------------------------------------"The great test of life is to see whether we will hearken to and obeyGod's commands in the midst of the storms of life. It is not to endurestorms, but to choose the right while they rage. And the tragedy of life isto fail in that test and so fail to qualify to return in glory to ourheavenly home. . . . "It will take unshakable faith in the LordJesus Christ to choose the way to eternal life. It is by using that faithwe can know the will of God. It is by acting on that faith we build thestrength to do the will of God. And it is by exercising that faith in JesusChrist that we can resist temptation and gain forgiveness through theAtonement."Topics: purpose of life, trials, faith(Henry B.
