We live in a dark world of our own making. There is no hiding from the news. All of this heartache and hurt is the price paid to gods made in our own image.
May God have mercy on us all.
It is appropriate to linger in a season of lament and sorrow but for the follower of Christ it is also precisely the time for an uncommon hope to shine through.
To place hope in humanity's capacity to fix the mess we find ourselves in is to abandon ourselves to further despair. Hope can only be found in God.
Trust in him and his goodness and move forward with bold acts of righteousness, mercy, justice, and humility.
For any who don't know Jesus who might stumble here, take a few minutes to examine your hopes. The politics, science, humanism, or other things that you might hope in are just as likely to produce despots, atom bombs, and anarchy as they are to produce security, peace, and abundance. A hope found within human control is no hope at all.
Hope in God never disappoints!
