The Tide-Turning Power of Hopeഉദാഹരണം

I looked at some of the other personalities in Scripture who endured the most scandalous downfalls and the most devastating crises.

The result was dramatic.

I found that God specialized in hard situations.

God is most active, most at work, most powerful, and most strategic when the odds are stacked against people.

Consider a few examples from Scripture:

• Adam hiding in shame in a garden
• Abraham leaving for a new unknown land
• Moses in a desert for decades
• Gideon leading a woefully outmatched army
• David facing the giant Goliath
• Elijah by a solitary broom tree
• Jonah in a fish Daniel in a den with lions
• And ultimately Jesus on a cross

The biblical stories of how God showed up in hopeless situations are inspiring.

Time and again, I see examples of God at work.

What has built my faith is a simple thought: if God did it for them, He can do it for me.
