You know, some days it just doesn’t pay to get up! These are a few of the news items that made headlines yesterday morning: Gasoline hit a national average of $4.00 a gallon; People in 16 states have gotten salmonella food poisoning from uncooked tomatoes; Severe weather and flooding has plagued the Midwest for several days now; and although Big Brown was favored to win the Triple Crown at Belmont last Saturday, he finished the race dead last (that in itself a record!). Add to these any variety of personal tragedies, and one might understand why some folks hold out little hope for the future. I’ve never really understood why people cannot accept the idea of Intelligence beyond us, but I do see the hopelessness in life without a Savior. However, our hope doesn’t stop here. Paul said it well in I Corinthians 15:19, “If our hope in Christ is good only for this life, we are worse off than anyone else.” You see, Paul realized that even though we put our faith in Christ we will still face struggles, and some of those struggles will be massive. But that’s alright because our reward awaits us at the end of our race. We can rest assured that regardless of tomorrow’s headlines, Christ still sits on the throne and our true hope lies in our eternal future with him.
