Faith in the Fire

Commentators like John Calvin emphasize that waiting for God "in the way of thy judgments" refers to remaining faithful during adversity and affliction. This is presented as the true test of sincere godliness. While hypocrites may praise God only in prosperity, the truly godly find their trust in Him deepened and proven through trials, demonstrating that their hope is not dependent on easy circumstances.
