Trials have a way of confirming what you believe. Either you believe what God told you or you believe what the situation is showing you. Your faith is confirmed when you can move forward in any situation without looking back. Just like Abraham in Genesis 22:1-19 his faith was confirmed, He showed God that no matter what he asked him to do He'd do it. Abraham shows us that when God ask, move. Abraham also shows us that God is faithful and gives us beyond expectation if we keep believing and moving on the path he's set before us.
Abraham had the mentality that if He asked me sacrifice my son, He'll also bring him back up. He shows us that in Genesis 22:5 when he said "we'll" be back, he had his mind set that God was going to provide what was needed and not let Him down. He knew not to worry but to trust instead. We don't have to do things like that now days but we still must have enough faith in God to move when he speaks. It's not our job to figure out every part of our lives out but it's our job to trust God and follow His lead.
Abraham ultimately shows us that with faith you can please God. When you please God you can have it all. God wants to clearly show us that He's our Father ,he will follow through if he gave us a promise, and that we should trust Him no matter what.
So let your faith in God be confirmed by trusting God through every situation. No matter what the situation presents know that God is greater. No matter how it looks, if God said move you move, if God said establish that business-do it, if God said start a church-do it. It's not your job to measure what he told you to do. Whether big or small God can make it happen. Let your faith grow. Stay encouraged and stay in the race. -Eri
