On hope in hard times

Jump to Comments

Chris­tians believe in a spir­i­tual dimen­sion to every­day life. It’s mostly invis­i­ble and occa­sion­ally tan­gi­ble. It’s described in Scrip­ture as a war between God and Anti-God, where human­ity is caught in between the war­ring sides.

On that note, Satan sucks.

Everybody’s catch­ing flak. There’s been a lot of suf­fer­ing, and a lot of loss. I’ve felt a lot of despair, and I’m not alone. There are rela­tion­ships being torn apart. There’s weari­ness, resur­fac­ing addic­tions, brokenness…

It’s also men­tioned in Scrip­ture that the Divine has all author­ity over Anti-God, and in the end, it trumps all. It is Good, it is over­whelm­ingly beau­ti­ful, it promises a supe­rior plea­sure and joy.

I’ve briefly men­tioned this, these are the times to fight for joy. These are the times to pray hard with many tears. These are the times to cling on to the hope that does not dis­ap­point.
