Watching people do nice things for each other can be encouraging, but humans are dumb. Where can we turn to when we need hope? We’ve already established that fluffy kitten videos won’t help, and society as a whole is a source of fear, not its cure. Looking at the world around us can be a source of fear and anxiety, and it might never end. It’s all too much to handle, and we’re all suffering. As a whole, humanity seems to be crying out this year, “We looked for peace, but no good came for a time of healing, but behold, terror” ( Jeremiah 8:15).Įvery other week, it seems like 2020 throws us another curveball. In short, the world is a dark place, dark enough to make you want to cry out, “O LORD, why have you cast my soul away? Why do you hide your face from me?” ( Psalm 88:14). Although our society (especially in America) hasn’t sunk to the level of Panem, our systems are broken. Most of all, people, precious humans made in God’s image and infinitely valuable in His sight, are dying needlessly. Some of the things we’ve seen (cough, murder hornets) feel like they came from The Hunger Games. In my state, we nearly had a winter Snownado (chance of snow and tornado warning). The entire world has been shaken, economies are in trouble, we nearly had another world war in January. If I give myself time to think about it, it’s pretty overwhelming. No matter how many fluffy kitten videos or adorable nostalgic TV shows I watch, the darkness will still creep back in. I think 2020 has given all of us a taste of that. The world is dark without Jesus.Īs much as I wish it were true, this world isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. For more on this quote, check out this post I found from K. Say what you like about the movie (I agree, the first one is terrible), but it does give us a look at the perspective of Capitol characters like President Snow before the release of Songbirds and Snakes, including the well-known “Hope is the only thing stronger than fear” quote, which we’ll be discussing today. This week’s fandom nugget comes to you from the darkest reaches of Panem. Nugget: Hope in the Lord is the strongest form of hope we can have. You might be down but you ain’t knocked out.Fandom: “Hope is the only thing stronger than fear.” – President Snow, The Hunger Games (movie) You might be down today, but you’re not the same! You might be down but you’re not out. Remember those who said you’d fail and let that fuel your flame. Whatever struggle that you’re facing you can make the change! Whatever’s happening in your life: You’ll make it through the pain! You’ve been here before… You’re battle hardened You’re stronger than you think… No longer faint heartened Look deep within…You’re stronger than a Spartan When you feel like quitting… Remember why you started So PUSH through the pain. Don’t let it stop you. Force it to grow you. Remember that every ounce of pain you feel is building a stronger you, a stronger body, a stronger mind, and a stronger character. When you feel like quitting, remember that the pain you feel today will be replaced with the strength you need tomorrow. When you feel like quitting… Remember what you’re doing it all for! When you feel like quitting… Remember: Pain is temporary… and greatness lasts forever. When you feel like giving up… Remember why you started. When you feel like quitting… Remember all of those who said you’d fail.
