When we are walking through a trial (notice the word, “when”), we long for the rock-solid security which holds us upon shaking ground. We long for a real hope which steadies our emotions and reigns-in our reactive tendencies. The hope God gives us through His work upon the cross is not a myth nor is it a sales tactic. The hope our God provides is an anchor through the storms and a comfort in our pain. It’s an anchor provided by a real God who really came down to save. There’s no blind faith in this historical reality.
For this reason, the faith Christians have is a gift which isn’t built upon either myth or human emotion. The Christian faith is based upon evidence God provided through actual events. This faith is rock-solid, as is the hope which results.
Friends, it’s by trusting in God’s work that we can truly rejoice in hardship. It’s not blind, wishful thinking…It’s real.
Just saying.
