German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe said that…
“Few people have the imagination for reality.”
It’s said that the truth is often stranger than fiction. Admittedly, reality is pretty strange for most of us right now.
We experience the problems in our economy…
We see the turmoil in the Middle East…
We feel for the people experiencing devastation and loss through tragedy and natural disasters…
Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard viewed it this way:
“Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.”
And although it may seem like a little TOO MUCH experience for some, all of this should come as no surprise. After all, Jesus tells us that…
“In the world, you WILL have trouble.”
But then comes the catch:
“TAKE HEART! I have overcome the world!”
While the world gives us trouble, Jesus promises us peace. And THAT is the reality we can all experience… just by asking.
