Hope

I heard that a man without fear is a man without hope. That is indeed true. A priest said that to Daredevil in the movie with Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner a couple of years ago. A movie that i actually paid money to see (and that they should possibly remake). Yes, a man who fears nothing has no need for faith or expectancy of things not visible to the human eye (which is ironic because Daredevil was blind).  The basis behind his persona is that he couldn't live in fear because of what he COULD NOT see. That's how we should live. Just because we can't see it doesn't mean it's not probable. When we refuse to pay attention, shed light upon something that obviously God has his hand in, we refer to it as luck or fate, something predestined by the alignment of the stars or something when it's actually the complete opposite. He allows things to happen because, of course, he's a just God and he's given us free will. He also allows his will to be done, granting us mercy and grace, just to prevent us from ruining ourselves, nudging us back on track. The last thing he does is that he takes full responsibility for redirecting your life simply because YOU ASKED HIM TO and because you believe that his will is more suitable than your own. Becoming subservient to HIS WILL , I believe, is the key to a better life. It might not be less dangerous, but it will be more insuring...if you believe. That's the thing. You have to trust him fully, adhering to the fact that the step you take after extending your foot forward will indeed touch ground because God put it there for your support.  It can be hard at times and quite challenging, but think of this: do you HONESTLY believe that God would test you with intentions of making you fail? NO! It's to make your stronger, more durable, and most importantly, WISER. You become a testimony for those who would probably be too weak NOT to submit to failure; those who would chose FLIGHT opposed to FIGHT. God is a mighty God and he only wants what's BEST for his children. So what I'm asking you is to NOT fear the world for the world cannot justify your soul, but fear God because he ultimately will (Matthew 10:28).
