There really is Much truth in what you say.

And thanks for your kind comments and reply.

I do, however, belive that GOD HIMSELF has given a bigger place to miracles than your perspective seems to understand.

Many times miracles do either foster increased faith or trigger faith’s beginnings. I have observed this many times and experienced it some.

Certainly miracles are here today and gone tomorrow. And God still requires that WE WALK BY FAITH; the JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

As my teen pastor used to say re feelings—we walk by faith, not by feelings—but praise God for the feelings when He sends them; they occur; they arise. I think it is much the same with miracles.

It is as though the mountaintops are for . . . vision—and without a vision, the people perish.

But we slug it out with the world, the flesh and the devil in the valleys. And it is THE LORD OF THE VALLEYS that we all must learn to walk with and submit to in the nitty gritties without the miracles.

Perhaps we are closer there, then I’d understood that we were.

Exactly, in your own estimation is "faith"?

Would you be so kind as to define what you think "faith" actually is?

Thanks.
