Today’s devotional is not the typical that we write as there is no “text” for today. The idea started yesterday after I finished a job interview for a Hospice Chaplain position. There were two interviewers and the second asked only one question, ‘Why would you want to move and retire to this area‘? My response, my reason was simple, if it is where God wants me it is where I must go. It is never about me it is always about him.
The quote from Thomas Watson below sums up this ideal, we as humans are reasonable (logical) thinkers in most situations. When reason fails we can and must rely upon God (Faith).
Reason. The faculty or power that allows humans to think or deliberate, to see the connections between propositions and draw proper inferences. Reason can be taken in a narrow or a broad sense. In the narrow sense reason is often contrasted with sensation and memory as the power to make inferences, and truths that are known by reason are those that are known a priori or purely by reflection. In a broader sense reason refers to the human faculties that make knowledge possible, including memory and sensation. See also rational; rationalism.

As a note before this devotional, I had never done an internet search of “Faith and Reason.” To say that I was surprised by the volume of information (much of it junk in my opinion) would be an understatement.
