Fidelity Faith

From Yancey's book Disappointment With God
Chapter 26:
"Psalm 23 models childlike faith; Psalm 22 models fidelity, a deeper, more mysterious kind of faith.  Life with God may include both.  We may experience times of unusual closeness, when every prayer is answered in an obvious way and God seems intimate and caring.  And we may also experience "fog times," when God stays silent, when nothing works according to formula and all the Bible's promises seem glaringly false.  Fidelity involved learning to trust that, out beyond the perimeter of fog, God still reigns and has not abandoned us, no matter how it may appear."
