Only yesterday, I, with great care, gathered my thoughts into questions begging a definition and description of faith.
Today, I lie reading. Not researching my questions but in respite, soaking in quiet, sustaining devotions. And I read:
Real faith isn't the belief that God will do a particular thing; real faith is the conviction that God is good, no matter what He does and however He chooses to answer our prayers.*
Should I be surprised at this answer offered at suspiciously coincidental timing? Isn't this the journey I am looking for?
