RE: WITHOUT WORK, IS HOPE A STRATEGY?- BLOCKCHAINMEMORYPROJECT JOURNAL ENTRY 10
when I only attempted two out of five excruciating questions.
LOL…I think most of us have been there at one time or other…I’m sure on at least one occasion in my early years, I started off with the perfect intro only to digress into a pathetic (lol) discussion of things that had zero to do with the question….Hmmm...I think politicians call that ughm, filibustering.
slight accident
Ha! No accidents; but, millions of Divine Interventions, aka Divine Favors, as I prefer to see these unexpected blessings as…Hallelujah!
(58) C-
Wow…what a break…in the US 75 is a C; a 17-point difference…argh!!!
prayed and even fasted
You did far more than just hope @oluwoleolaide.
It simmers down to (Hebrews 11:1) Now, faith is the evidence of things not seen; and the hope for things to come.
That said, as you noted in your post, “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:14).
So, pretty much to restate what you said, hope is an outcome of faith (what you believe for) which can’t occur without work.
Best regards.
Peace.
Wow
Thanks for the wonderful feedback ma'am. You said exactly what my late mom said to me back then. She said "I hoped and prayed"
Even though my faith is so tiny, i know i just need a mustard seed size of it then i pray in my own little way. Not all my prayers have been answered though, but i still believe in the power of Prayers.
Wow is right! Perhaps, the transference of words was just God anointing you with a little gift to 'hear' from your beloved mother. Indeed, He does work in mysterious ways. Kinda' like receiving the fragrance of a loved one crossed over...just out of the blue...no one's around in a closed setting, and their signature fragrance just waffs through the air...things like that...Makes me tear up thinking about those gifts.
Wanna bet???????? ;+) All prayers are answered; just not in the way we 'hoped'...Thanking God for that as I speak!!!! God always answers in ways that are best for keeping us in line with His path for our life.
As an example...someone praying for a million dollars gets a job paying minimum wage instead. It looks like the prayer went unanswered; but, it was answered by God in the way that would be best for the individual...to get that million would have meant the person leaning on the worldly things, instead of God, for his needs/wants/yens.
The important thing is to never cease praying if you believe in the spirit, it is what God wants you to have. (Matthew 7:7). Some prayers are formed from a vision. If the vision tarries, wait for it (Habakkuk 2:3).
Best regards.
Peace.
