If we were logical, the future would be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings, and we have faith, and we have hope, and we can work.
Jacques Cousteau (1910-1997, French naval officer, underwater explorer)
Romans 12:12-14
Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer. Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. (HCSB)
Rejoicing in hope takes faith, and I like Cousteau’s words, we have faith. Faith is a must to achieve anything, for without it no one will work. Charles Colton put it this way. “Hope sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.” Did you hear the impossible part?
You see God knew what was possible for us to achieve by ourselves, He limited what we could do without Him. He put certain limits for man that he cannot go beyond without His Omnipotent presence. You cannot see certain things without Him, and without that sight, you cannot do the impossible. Isn’t God’s wisdom eternal and so far beyond us. Of course it is, He is our Maker, and designer, He has our blueprint.
So the impossible is what God is asking us to do. He is asking us to link our hope with faith and do works that will make others in this world stand up and take notice. I think that was God’s idea in the first place. As Christ came so that we could see His Father, we also are to be doing things that gives the world a glimpse of who our Father is too…we should want to make Dad proud…God’s Blessings.
