Unshakeable Hope (1 of 8)
Series: Unshakable Hope
Scott Maze
Daniel 1:1-7
We begin a new series for a new year from the Old Testament book of Daniel. Most of us go about our daily routines without giving much thought to HOW the devices we use were constructed. Many of the items you use for work, play, and education rely on what are known as rare earth elements. There are 17 rare earth elements in the periodic table and all of these are extremely useful in technology - really, really valuable. ‘‘How valuable?’’ you ask? The F-35 Fighter Jet has 920 pounds of rare earth materials in it. Tesla has recently moved to Texas for production and the Model 3 uses a rare earth element in its magnetic motor.
But you know what is even rarer than rare earth elements? H O P E - Hope. I find hope to be one of the rarest things in our day. In nearly everyone I speak to, we simply lack hope. There’s a lack of hope for our beloved country. There’s a lack of hope for our children’s future. Hope is rarer than even rare earth elements. We are in desperate need of hope. The number one thing people are looking for, hungry for, begging for, thirsting for, living for, and even dying for is HOPE! Hope is not only one of the most powerful words in the English language, it truly is one of the most powerful forces in the world.
For some hope, I invite you to turn to the Old Testament book of Daniel. For anyone new to the Bible, you’ll love the first part of Daniel as the stories are jam-packed-exciting while the second part reads like science-fiction! Daniel has some of the most exciting stories in all of the Bible. It is action-packed with story after story of one miracle after another. Did you know that when Daniel lived, God’s people were parched for hope? And at just the right time, God comes along and raises up Daniel and his three friends.
