In 2 Corinthians 5 v 7 we read,'For we walk by faith, not by sight'.remember faith see's beyond the natural,the unsaved doesn't, they only see what they see ,nothing else.And so they place their hopes ,values, aims in material and fleeting things,the big one is science.E.K.Simpson ,writes, 'Man was left to his own inventions long enough to demonstrate the futility of his vaunted wisdom and the inadequacy of his cherished resources. such as modern science who modify the externals of life, not always beneficently, that does not fill its aching voids nor quench its raging thirsts'. But those who walk by faith have found in Christ what he promised,'would never thirst again ( John 4 v 13 - 14)Those who walk by faith will always have hope,ask yourself the question ,what hope is there for anyone ,threatened by so many things,disease, and a multitude of other things . There is a story of a little boy who saved his town by putting his finger in a hole of the dyke ,he kept it there until the towns people came and repaired the dyke. ( In Holland much of the land is below sea level, so they built dykes ,to save then from flooding),When we apply that to humanity it seems when we put our finger in the dyke, yet the problem only gets worse. The one who walks by faith has hope because he see's a Sovereign God ,who is called the God of hope,(Romans 15 v 13) without God there is no hope, so dear Christian friend hope thou in God,keep walking by faith in Christ,in contrast to a world that is walking in darkness.
