The quiet, Chilean immigrant was the single winner of the Big Game lottery. These are the kinds of questions we ask ourselves when we hear a story like that of Mrs. Grasso. So the fantasy fades and life goes on. In our Bible text this morning, there is a story that is also amazing. OR, the story could be a spark that ignites greater faith in us.
Fantasies are mere dreams that float through our minds and are soon forgotten.
Faith is much different. As we learned last week, faith is born out of God's promises to us. As we take hold of those promises, we become people who please Him and who discover that He is actively leading and guiding us. For unlike the lottery, God's promises are sure and obtainable. They are not handed out to a lucky few.
