“Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down!” — Isaiah 64:1–2
On April 24th, 2021, an Indonesian submarine sank in the southern Pacific Ocean. The news reported that the crew may have run out of oxygen and quickly sank below the crush depth—the pressure on the outside was greater than the strength on the inside. It is thought that it went down quickly because of an internal leaking.
This parallels exactly what is happening in America today as waves of confusion and chaos overcome the masses. Many are being crushed by the external pressures of life because the strength on the inside (their relationship with God) is not greater than the pressure on the outside.
How can I be hopeful amid such darkness and depravity?
