Real Hope: Unchanging Nature Of God預覽
OUR REALITY VS. GOD'S
In 2009, two young men – Doug Arms and Marc Berruezo – set off to visit 14 countries in seven months so they could communicate what Ambassadors for Christ International was doing around the world.
In Malaysia, they spent time in the tribal jungles of the Penan people in Sarawak. On their last evening with the Penan, they shared photos of their visit in Penan and their visits to other countries around the world. The jungle people were so intrigued – the jungle was their whole world. And now they were seeing pictures from the wide world of which their jungle was only a small part.
Our personal reality usually completely fills our attention. Our own little corner of the world can seem to be the whole universe. However, as God reminded Jeremiah, who was rather overwhelmed by his circumstances, there is so much more around us and in store for us than we could ever begin to imagine.
Perhaps the experience of the Penan people watching photos of other parts of the world so unlike their own is somewhat like our reading about heaven: God’s home is so different from ours, we can scarcely imagine it. Scripture assures us that unimaginable blessings and rewards await those who are faithful to the Lord in this life. Will you ask the Holy Spirit to help you remember the greatness of God’s reality when you feel overwhelmed?
