“Still Dare to Hope!” (Lamentations 3:19-21 NLT) It was August 5, 2010 when a Chilean mine collapsed trapping 33 men. CNN wrote in an article “More than 2,300 feet below ground, the miners were battling starvation and trying to cling to faith, hope and anything else to keep them alive. To beat the odds, the miners divided what little rations they had – cans of tuna split 33 ways, cookies and greasy water intended to cool mining equipment. Rescuers drilled more than a dozen holes, trying to find the men. And after days of no signs of life, then-Chilean President Sebastian Piñera began plans for a giant cross to memorialize the miners. But on August 22, 2010, the world learned the men were alive after a drilling tool emerged from the deep with a note attached to it. The note said all 33 men were alive.” Can you imagine? Sixty nine days trapped underground. One man had to watch his daughter being born on video. Interestingly, they named her Esperanza which is Spanish for HOPE (Esperanza)! What those men needed then and what we need today is HOPE! Matter of fact, Jeremiah, the Weeping Prophet; Jeremiah, the Reluctant Prophet; Jeremiah, the Strong Prophet (Jeremiah 1:18), needed HOPE. He had lost this HOPE in Jeremiah 3:18. But what he lost in 18, he found in verse 21. Since HOPE requires a Sure Source, THINK back so that you can PUSH forward!
