A Kiss from Rose | A Test of Faith and Focus: Standing in the Field Alone

There will be seasons in life where you find yourself standing in the field alone, no crowd, no cheerleaders, and only a handful of trusted voices if that. It is in these moments that God is refining your focus, sharpening your vision, and tuning your ear to His voice without the interference of noise or misinformation.

In times like these, clarity is a gift. When distractions are stripped away, your ability to hear God becomes clearer. You are no longer swayed by opinions or dependent on external validation. You are being positioned to walk in divine purpose with a level of trust and obedience that only comes through solitude and testing.

Limited Help, Intentional Guidance

If God has allowed only a few people to stand with you, it is for a reason. Not everyone is meant to go where you are going. The few who remain are not just there for you; they are being tested as well. God is observing their obedience, their faithfulness, and their willingness to support without personal agenda.

Understand this, God is always testing, always revealing. He shows you who you can depend on, not so you can become bitter about who is not there, but so you can move wisely in the company of those who are.

“But He knows the way that I take; when He has tested me, I will come forth as gold.” (Job 23:10)

“Many are called, but few are chosen.” (Matthew 22:14)

The Power of Stewardship

When God gives you little, it is never by accident. He watches how you handle the small before He releases the overflow. Your patience, your diligence, your consistency in the little are prerequisites for increase.

Scripture reminds us,

“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’” (Matthew 25:23)

If you feel overlooked or under-resourced, know that your current position is a proving ground. God is testing your heart to see if you will trust Him with the small before He trusts you with the greater.

“Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.” (Zechariah 4:10, NLT)

Standing in the Field, Anchored in Faith

Whether you stand alone, with a few, or surrounded by many, your focus must remain on God. Do not allow loneliness to become an enemy to your faith. Trust His plan. Trust His process. Trust His outcome. Even when you cannot see the full picture, know that He is orchestrating everything for your good.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14)

Because God’s intention has always been for your victory. And when God is for you, no amount of isolation, no test, no season of lack can ever stand against you.

So stand firm. Stay faithful. The field is not your final destination, it is just the training ground for your breakthrough.
