What up peeps? How ya livin'? Well I hope, tru! I hope that it's warm in some of your climates... cuz it is COOOOOLD here in da Northeast, specifically Boston/Cambridge. Actually, it was really da winds that made it QUITE nasty. I couldn't feel ma face yo! Last time I forget my skull cap, buhlee you me! heh heh, on to... da Word!
checkit:
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
- Paul (Hebrews 11:1)
Uhhhh huh! Faith is TOUGH kid! Being sure of a mere hope and certain of sumtim a brutha can't even see!? How does that work? Who would be so crazy as to do such a thing? PLENTY of peeps yo.... PLENTY! Just start thinkin' about all the peeps you admire for doing big and great things that have had great impact on multitudes of people. Think of them kats who changed the course of life for the better -- for people, cultures, or nations the world over. These peeps had a dream (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), and grasped on to it. They held on to a hope and they were certain of what they could not physically see. YET... YET... these people were able to rally many behind them, able to get them to grasp on to the same hope with the same intensity, and able to see that which could not be SEEN! And as a result? YOOO.... GREAT THINGS HAPPENED!
Think about the force of magentism for a second. Yeah magnets are the bomb diggity!!! Can you see the interactive forces between those two black plates? Do you doubt they exist? No way. It is almost by faith that we believe those interactive forces exist, not because we can see the forces themselves, but because we can see and/or feel the effects of such forces. We can "see" the fields generated by placing metallic powder in its midst. And yoooo, the effects are awesome to behold! Furthermore, these forces exist whether or not we believe they do. I can hear da Rock saying, "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU BELIEVE!" Heh heh, those interactions exist regardless of our opinions. Our not believing would not cause them to cease to exist.
Now checkit, we could have chosen to remain ignorant and believe those interactions and fields do not exist, or grasp on to it and try to harness and unleash its potential.... BAAMMM! Look at all the technology that has emerged from our belief in these forces and harnessing their properties! Society has advanced in LEAPS son!!!! Now that's just a weeee little thing called magnetism.... imagine if we applied that drive into harnessing the unlimited potential inherent within our interactions with Pops above...... I can't even ~begin~ to type a "BAM" big enough to represent the possibilities. If you read on in the chapter, Paul begins to give us a lil taste of all the AMAZING things that happended as a result of peeps harnessing that potential. One word..... FAITH ...... Get yourself some and start unlocking some serious potential potnas. It's time to rise up!
G-bless,
