Hope is distant and abstract, but faith demands you act now. The speaker warns against postponing trust in God's miracles or giving up before your breakthrough arrives. He pushes listeners to place themselves in uncomfortable situations that require immediate belief.
It's one thing to say, I hope, I hope, I hope, because hope is somewhere off there in the distance. But faith says now. And sometimes we separate ourselves from the miracle with a bunch of time in between because it makes it more bearable when we experience what we believe is disappointment. Yeah, one day God will heal me. One day God will deliver me. One day I'll have the breakthrough. One day I'll feel that closeness with God. One day I'll see the One day I'll see it happen. And it's so far off in the distance that it doesn't quite hurt as bad. If you want to believe God, you're gonna have to put yourself in a position where it gets a little scary. I would rather go my whole life believing for a miracle than to give up one day too soon. I wonder how many Christians gave up on in the night. The miracle that was scheduled for the morning.
