Faith in the Usual

And the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, with their households and all the people who belonged to Korah and all their goods. (Numbers 16:32 ESV)

The Bible is true but not all truth is in the Bible.

If someone tell you that 2 + 2 = 4 and you say, "I will not believe this until I find it in the Bible", then you will never progress in arithmetic.

The Bible tells us that the just shall live by faith. But the wicked live by faith as well. Everybody lives by faith.

When we take our next step, we never fear that the ground will give way and swallow us up. When we sleep, we assume we will wake up. When we sit on a chair, we do not expect the chair to give way.

We have faith in the usual. Typically, everything will just happen as per normal. Nothing extraordinary will happen and nature will just take its course. But Bible-believing Christians should transfer this faith in the usual to faith in God.

For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. (Matthew 24:38 BSB)
