About God being bigger than hopelessness…
Ephesians 1:18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in
order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his
glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his incomparably great power for us
who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, … (NIV)
Most people have times in life when they think they have no hope. However, if
we moved back from the time of our seeming to have no hope and we could see our
time of hopelessness like God sees it, we would see the folly of our thinking.
We are foolish to think at any point in our life that we have no hope. If there
is one major lesson we should learn from Christ coming to earth, this lesson is
that our hope for the future extends into eternity. The hope we can have for the
future is so immense, so dramatic, so beautiful, so full of promise, and so full
of reward, no words can describe what is in store for us. We have momentary
problems that demand we attend to these problems for the moment. However, our
momentary problems are only for the moment. Our problems are only for the
present minute. When we take an eternal view of our momentary problems we can
see the truth about our life now and in the future. Our present pain, worry, and
problems melt away when we see our life in eternity. The beauty and grandeur of
Heaven are so powerful, the beauty and grandeur of Heaven pour so much light and
love over us, even the deepest darkness has have no power to defeat us.
