Show Notes

The fleet of war machines hurtled through the air toward the city. The leader smiled fiercely, hands on the controls of his ship. This is the greatest military power in the history of humanity, he said to his officers, not caring if it was true. The leader’s ship went into a dive, and the fleet followed. The city darkened as the sun was blocked. Emergency sirens wailed, and fearful people ran from the streets. It is high time this city fell, the leader shouted, laid waste like all the others! We will build a great empire, and nothing can stop us now! Nothing can stop this fleet! The girl stood on the wall of the city, watching the approaching fleet. It filled the sky from east to west, and the noise of thundering rumbled her feet. Then silence. Great, whooshing silence. The girl gasped. The machines were plummeting from the sky, all at once in a great wave of wood and metal. The first struck the ground not far from the city wall, scraping up great piles of earth as the ships disintegrated with bright explosions. Soon the entire fleet lay in ruins, smoke rising up and up to the heavens. • Kevin Zeller What kinds of things do you put your hope in? What kinds of technology or other manmade things do people place their hope in? Reread Romans 8:22-28. As Christians, where is our hope? Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. Psalm 20:7 (NIV)

Read Verses:

Psalm 20:7; Romans 8:22-28
