“Believe It Or Not” was a show that aired in the ‘80’s, as I recall. Robert Stack was the host. His voice timbre was perfect; he had a mysterious quality that drew you in, almost holding your breath for the subject that was about to unfold.

I sincerely believe that is the draw of the ongoing story of God’s people. So much of the content of Scripture goes beyond imagination and might even border on the surreal. Then throw in the “secret sauce”, which is that we are already chosen, already spoken for. God is both subject and verb, beginning and end, eternal yet close enough to walk with us, embrace us, cry with us, and save us.

It is a give and take relationship with The One who created all that is, knows all that is, and has power over all that is. And believe it or not, knows us so intimately. It is faith that assures us of whatever we hope for and proves that which we cannot see – believe it or not. He is not letting go of us but tightening His grip as we face the challenging world with all its’ landmines, believe it or not. It is salvation and life everlasting, even though every single one of us cannot escape death – believe it or not. It is an  unconditional love instead of what we deserve for our constant disobedience.

Believe it or not…
