"Life might be filled with problems without solutions..."

Could you elaborate?

Thanks for the comment, I'm thinking along the lines of things that are left unresolved down here. In the first centuries of Christianity there were a lot of Christians martyred. It's not to say that God couldn't have brought them out of it and delivered them from their adversaries, but He didn't and apart from His divine intervention people are sometimes stuck with the cards they're dealt so to speak. Even today many face problems of many kinds such as health challenges, perhaps incurable cancer. Apart from a miraculous intervention from God they're stuck with the negative lot.

More or less the goal in this post is to remind us that our hope can't be down here. Certainly there are times when the norm is overruled by God but oftentimes the norm isn't to be an easy life.

Does that make sense? I'm sure I could've probably articulated it better in the article too.
