I talked to a woman whose husband left her for someone else and wanted a divorce. In spite of her disappointment, she claimed, “He’ll come back and our marriage will be better than ever.”
“How can you be so sure?” I asked her. She explained that she had faith.
The divorce went through and shortly thereafter her former husband died. So what about her faith?
The value of faith is not in faith itself, but in its object. Think of faith like the cord on a toaster. If you plug it into your ear instead of an electrical outlet, the toaster won’t toast. It’s not having a cord that counts, it’s where you plug the cord.
Having faith in faith isn’t enough. The faith that matters is faith in God, because it connects us to the greatest power in the universe.
