A thoughtful comment from the Latter-day Saint philosopher Adam Miller:

 

“Faith is more like being faithful to your husband or wife than it is like believing in magic.  Fidelity is key.  You may fall in love with someone because of how well they complement your story, but you’ll prove yourself faithful to them only when you care more for the flawed, difficult, and unplotted life you end up sharing with them.  Faith isn’t the opposite of knowledge.  Rather, like love, faith perfects knowledge by practicing fidelity to it.”
