Faith

From this morning’s Streams in the Desert:

Faith is not conjuring up, through an act of your will, a sense of certainty that something is going to happen. No, it is recognizing God’s promise as an actual fact, believing it is true, rejoicing in the knowledge of that truth, and then simply resting because God said it….

Faith does not say, “I see this is good for me; therefore, God must have sent it.” Instead, faith declares, “God sent it; therefore, it must be good for me.”
