What causes us to believe?

Morning: Psalms 20, 21:1-7; I Kings 17:17-24; 3 John 1-15
Some say they will believe if a miracle happens; others believe if they see proof … which is not belief at all, but knowledge. True belief is trusting … without a miracle. Later, belief may deepen, as did that of the Roman official whose son Jesus healed. He already believed sufficiently that he asked for help. Perhaps he had already experienced something astounding? … Haven’t we all? Life itself? Generosity? Love? Aren’t these everyday miracles enough to convince us that a higher power is behind them? Aren’t they enough to make us trust that even greater things are possible?
