Radical Faith as a response to the random hopefulness of the world

Many people have hope.  They dream.  They want.  They wish.  They hope.

People hope to win the lottery.  People hope to be successful.  People hope to go to heaven when they die.  People hope.

While hope can be grounded in something, it can also be grounded in nothing.  No matter your level of hopefulness, your lottery chances to do not change based on your hope.  Success is not built upon our hopes.  Hoping will not get anyone to heaven.

Radical faith calls us to a hope grounded upon God and his character.  The power of hope is not in the one hoping but the faithfulness of the one in which we place our trust.  Radical faith demonstrates trust in the One who can fulfill our hopes.  Radical faith connects us to a God who can do more than we ask or imagine.  Radical faith allows our hopes to be dependent upon the good grace of God and not our ability to come up with better wishes. 

Radical faith is the key to hope.
