daily word - robust faith?

Do you practice a robust faith? Is it hard to break, and able to resist challenges from without? What about challenges from within? Do you ever have doubts, or struggle to maintain your belief in the central doctrines of your church? Do your church and the world outside seem like two separate realms? Yet you have a foot in both worlds. Does your church strengthen your faith by challenging it, by teaching you how to deal with the dry and desolate times that come to all, and how to deal with your doubts? These are normal and routine experiences of mature believers and your church should prepare you for them, that you may have a robust faith.
