Anything solid left to stand on? Anything left that is not hostile, pretentious, fake, defiant, sick, threatened, inflated, shaken, flooded, submerged, disguised, dismembered, incinerated, decimated or about to be? Fear tries to keep up appearances of hope, but where do we look for hope, when it is now pared down to a kind of vague wishing, not-sure-cross-your-fingers counting on “someone out there,” “somebody up there,” “something in here”? Hope, supposed to “spring eternal,” now just recycled illusions sustained by photo-op smiles and handshakes?

What if you had the chance find the original only true HOPE, that continues for the whole human family, uninterrupted, invisible, certain, as Juan Gabriel Cardona honored during a Sabbath message on June 19, 2010, “the strong and confident expectation...” woven throughout Scripture:

“For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance...” —apostle’s letter to believers in Rome, ch. 8:24-25

Can we count on this hope? If we are used to stuff that crumbles as soon as it is labeled invincible, how can we begin to believe in the realities that the Eternal Living GOD reveals? What is it like to actually experience, by the longsuffering mercies and precise intricate artistry of the Potter, the state of “not seeing yet believing”? How can we tell the false hope from the real, especially when the fakes can seem so appealing?

“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the reeds flourish without water?
While it is yet green and not cut down,
It withers before any other plant,
The hope of the hypocrites shall perish, whose confidence shall be cut off...”- Job 8:11
