3 Phases of Faith

When trials come, as they do throughout our lives we can be comforted with the knowledge that the LORD is our Shepherd. (Psalm 23)

Our family has some intense struggles going on right now. 

 In my devotions from "Streams in the Desert"by Mrs. Charles Cowman there is a meditation on

 3 Phases of Faith.

1. Faith with a sign and feelings (like Gideon,(Judges 6)

2. Faith with the absence of feelings

3. Faith when we believe God and His Word even when circumstances, emotions and reason say 

     NO.

 (Acts 27:20 &25...all hope was gone. Yet Paul told the others..."Be of good cheer; for I believe GOD...")

Draw near to GOD, and He will draw near to you.

James 4:8
